Why Are Gas Prices Going Down?
Is it possible that the federal government has told the oil companies to lower their prices for a few months because the holidays are coming and they don’t want consumers to feel the pinch while stocking up on presents? I really wonder what the gas prices will look like in January. I propose that we don’t give in to our programmed holiday response. I propose that we be minimalists. My family and I are doing one gift per person and a stocking, the rest we make or bake. A direct quote from Julian Darley and Celine Rich, both from the Post Carbon Institute… “Reduce, produce 90% less and make the rest.” It’s hard to imagine how much less this would be but as they said to me, “If you drink coffee every day, have it every 9th day.” So, if you usually buy 9 holiday gifts, buy only one. Try it and let me know how it goes. Let’s share our stories, it make’s it easier when we know the trials and tribulations we face together.
