This Tuesday, December 26, 2023, social networks are flooded with pretty family photos celebrating Christmas and the stories are all synonymous with unwrapping gifts of all kinds, under the tree. A behavior that will undoubtedly annoy the most environmentalists among us. Among them, the actor Lambert Wilson who, for several years, has been involved in the fight for the preservation of the planet. We know in fact that Sophie Marceau’s former companion was a member of the environmental protection NGO Greenpeace for more than 20 years.
“I was raised in the countryside, where I lived in contact with animals, observed nature and maintained a passion for botany” he declared in the columns of Le Parisien in 2019. This Saturday, December 23, it’s on the show “Unexpected Journal”, on RTL radio that the actor was invited. Once again, the actor did not hesitate to make a big rant against the consumer society, which pushes the French to buy as many gifts as possible during the end-of-year holidays.
“I would like us to move away from these celebrations which are linked to trade. I can not stand it anymore. Hearing people who feel obligated to buy gifts when in fact they’re buying horrible things… We have to get out of this!” said the actor sorry to Nathalie Renoux. Lambert Wilson then revealed what he bought his loved ones.
“You can offer a song that you have prepared especially for your guests. They complain about it, in my opinion, in advance…” he declared before confiding with gifts “handmade”. “We can free ourselves from guilt. Let’s make things. I love it when we make things, especially jams, things that we made ourselves.”
