Cleaners
When the festive season kicks into high gear this week, we enter celebration mode: last-minute shopping, family gatherings, eating and drinking, exchanging of gifts, sale-mania, parties and midnight fireworks. These are all well and good. But spare a thought for those who will be cleaning up in the wake of all our celebrating. The street-sweepers and dish-washers, the garbage-collectors and police-officers. They deserve our gratitude and more. And let’s not forgot those acting to minimise the impact of our overconsumption bonanza: the climate activists and environmental champions, the labour rights defenders and sustainable producers.
