ethical buying

Over the last few years we’ve been thinking a bit more about what we spend our money on. Buying less, buying fairtrade, avioding buying from unetchical companies, buying eco, buying handmade, buying recycled.

We, of course, buy new and the occasional hideously unethical purchase, (as well as a few nice ones) as of course we are human! But we try to be a bit more active in actually having a thought about it all.

We sort of live in a time and place where people think you can and should have it all. And really simply, It just can’t be true. And the more we think it’s okay to have the lastest and greatest the worse we are making it for someone else.

On the whole buying less buying green, handmade, local, op-shopped, fairtrade etc – is great for our household budget, good for other people, means we have less crap in the house and usually items are better quality than their crappy plastic counterparts.

I saw this today and love it.I think I’ll pop it on the sidebar and hopefully it will remind me to buy well or buycott!
