We are not telling you to stop buying gifts for loved ones! However, it is always good to consider the broader impacts our actions have. This holiday season, consider whether or not we need to purchase brand new items.

Sometimes, companies make it easier for us to reduce our impact. For example, many companies allow us to select a later delivery date so packages can be combined. Others have chosen to use biodegradable or recyclable packaging. Still, some are promoting the repairing of items or their resale.

So, what can we do? For starters, we can consume less! We can consider what are needs and what are wants: sometimes we need a new computer, but not as often as we would prefer! We can also consider buying from smaller businesses who are more likely to source items locally.

In fact, these two days dramatically spike urban pollution relative to other days throughout the year due to the increased shipping via ground transport.

Is Cyber Monday any better? Nope! We are buying the same products we would at a brick and mortar location. This means that all of the carbon dioxide produced from making them still applies. Also, these things are now being delivered directly to our houses, which still requires fossil fuels.

Materials need to be obtained to make it. Then, they need to be shipped to a factory that produces these items. Once made, they can finally be shipped to a retailer. A laptop produces about 220-440 lbs of carbon dioxide! A shirt produces much more carbon dioxide than it weighs.

We go to the store to get a new shirt and laptop. All we had to do is drive there and pick it up. Sure, we burned some gas, but we were out doing other things this Black Friday and just added the stop. However, let’s consider the entire process it took to get those items to the store.

Pumpkins have also struggled in the hot summer and late-season heat. A 2024 study looked at monthly consumer price indices and temperature data over about a 30-year period and found that food price increases can be triggered by less than a 2°F increase in monthly temperature.

Changing prices of food is dependent on several factors including illness/disease, tariffs, worker shortages, etc. However, a changing climate also plays a major role. In fact, cranberries are not alone in their struggles.

These issues lead to lower yield which is then felt by consumers in the form of higher prices. In the US, 400 million pounds of cranberries are consumed each year with 20% of that consumed during Thanksgiving!

Often times, the impact can be felt where it hurts: our wallets. Cranberries are one example of a crop that is susceptible to warmer temperatures. If temperatures are too warm, cranberry plants may bud too early or experience cranberry scald (damage to the inside and fruit surface).
