Alam na maraming tao ang tila nagpaplano nang mas maaga kaysa karaniwan para sa Pasko, ang mga tagagawa ng kagamitan sa pagsisid sa UK ay naghahanda para sa kapaskuhan.
Fourth Element is pursuing its “Gift with Purpose” philosophy. Decrying the “chaos and mindless consumerism” of the Black Friday period, it says it wants customers to “consider the life of the gift that they choose, whether that’s a durable piece of kit that lasts year in, year out; a gift that enables the opportunity of adventure; or an item or experience that gives back to the ocean”.
“It’s time to change our habits and avoid buying gifts for the sake of it,” says Fourth Element co-founder Jim Standing. “We are encouraging everyone to give gifts with purpose, to give something that is wanted, needed or that will last, and not end up in landfill by New Year.”
Sa layuning iyon ang kumpanya ay naglunsad ng hiwalay online na mga indibidwal na gabay sa regalo para sa mga scuba diver, freediver, swimmers at eco-conscious, pati na rin ang isa na may mga mungkahi sa pagpuno ng medyas (mula sa £14 na pampainit ng tainga o mga tubo ng pagong hanggang £37 na may tatak na beach-towel).
Ang tagagawa ng UK ay nag-anunsyo din ng isang bagong pakikipagtulungan sa Sea Shepherd na inspirasyon, sabi nito, sa pamamagitan ng 40 taon ng mga eco-activist na nagpapatrolya sa mga dagat upang protektahan at pangalagaan ang marine wildlife. Ang resulta ay isang koleksyon ng Ikaapat na Elemento X Sea Shepherd limitadong-edisyon na mga produkto, na may 15% ng bawat pagbebenta ay napupunta sa pondo ng Sea Shepherd upang tumulong sa pagsakop sa mga pagsisikap nito sa pandaigdigang konserbasyon.
“Fourth Element’s products are designed, developed and packaged with the intention of minimising our impact on the ocean environment, and with this partnership we will be supporting the work of Sea Shepherd, in particular in their work on dealing with the twin threats of ghost-fishing nets and plastic pollution,” says Standing.
