MMmm that's some good Christmas content. As the Christmas e-shopping spree starts arriving on your doorstep, you're going to start feeling a little consumer guilt. God, such a consumer. Cramming the world full of stuff, just jamming stuff into every available landfill. Anyway, here are three places around town doing something to assuage your complicity in ruining the planet. Shanghai Tattoo is holding a party on December 14 where food and drinks sales go to a charity for girls' education in rural China, same time as Xin Che Jian hosts an upcycled plastic Christmas decorations workshop. Meanwhile, Rooster is doing its clothing drive this weekend, where you can donate wearable things to The Renewal Center. If you can bear to part with your mountain of stuff.

MMmm that's some good Christmas content. As the Christmas e-shopping spree starts arriving on your doorstep, you're going to start feeling a little consumer guilt. God, such a consumer. Cramming the world full of stuff, just jamming stuff into every available landfill. Anyway, here're three places around town doing something to assuage your complicity in ruining the planet. * Shanghai Tattoo is hosting a Christmas Charity Party with food and drink sales going towards EGRC (Educating Girls of Rural China). Your gluttony and alcoholism could actually improve someone's life. Free to get in. Afterparty's at Inferno because of course it is. Upcycle plastic bags, kuaidi bags and bubble wrap and turn them into cute Christmas decorations that'll literally last a thousand years. Kids and adults welcome, they'll provide materials and machines to make as many as you can in two hours. The more you make, the better person you are. 150rmb to get in. Dig out your clothes (in good, wearable condition, Ebenezer) and swing by The Rooster anytime after 3.30pm to donate your clothes to The Renewal Center. A free pint of Vedett to reward you for parting with your mountain of stuff.
