Oxfam Unwrapped

http://www.oxfamunwrapped.com.au/ - We did this for our customers instead of sending gifts .. !!

As a small consulting firm, we decided to purchase Goats, Chickens and Turkeys from  Oxfam Unwrapped 

In addition to this, we decided it would be beneficial to send our larger clients Carbon Credits instead of Gifts. We did this through www.greenpig.com.au a local Australian company who make it very simple to offset everything from flights, to your car or even offset yourself..Greenpig, as creative as they are, even allow you to offset your new designer handbag, fluffy the cat or rover the dog, your wedding or ...wait for it... a boys night out... How very Australian..

So inspired by this I decided to send my friends and family a tonne each for Christmas..you might say perfect for the environmentally aware friend or family member and even better for the environmentally ignorant because you may just start them thinking! 

Not sure if my family like me anymore though !

Regards

Carl
