What You Buy
Every dollar we spend can be an investment in the future.
Being thoughtful about what we buy (and what we don’t) can have a significant impact on the health of the planet. From t-shirts to cleaning products, taking into consideration content, packaging, and the environmental and social commitment of the manufacturer can help promote responsible business practices and a green economy. Also consider the lifecycle of our everyday stuff, especially where it goes when we’re done using it. Simply taking care of and repairing the things we already have, instead constantly buying replacements can help save money and reduce our impact!
