[quote=Anonymous]In case anyone’s counting votes, I’m with OP. PP above made the excellent point that consumerism used as an escape from the doom and gloom will hasten an environmental catastrophe that many people will not survive. It’s not just your one plastic skeleton and single-use string of LEDs. It’s all the energy that went into producing them, packaging them, shipping them from the other side of the planet, and trucking them to your store. A modest halloween display requires more energy than you can fathom. And of course it doesn’t end there. After Halloween when those flimsy decorations are thrown in the trash, they still have to be trucked to the landfill where they will leach chemicals into the soil and water forever. I hate your holiday decorations. [/quote]
