Recession buster - go green

One great myth about going green is that only the rich can do it. Well, good news! By spending less on STUFF that you really don't need, you are in truth contributing to the well-being of our planet.

Everything that we create, uses resources on our planet and humans are very wasteful creatures: What we need today, end up in the landfill in a few months, so think very carefully about similar items purchased, as well as the timelessness of the item. Maybe try saving for the item in a better quality so it will last longer i.e. instead of buying 10 dresses, save up to have one well-made unique dress (if you can have this made for you, you will also be supporting local business) or instead of buying cheep pots and pans, save up to buy one good set that will last you a life time.
