To Shop or Not To Shop

Help.

I want cute expensive jeans and purses and shoes.

I also want to buy only recycled items to STOP this consumerism.


The Story of Stuff














ok so I shop at second hand stores and our family recycles all it can. I am PROUD to say that it takes 4 weeks to FILL my garbage can but only 1 week to fill our recycle bin.

We have taught the girls it is a mortal sin to litter and smoke.

But I want my house to look like the inside of a Pottery Barn Store and that shits hard to find used in decent condition.

We do have one big car (need to seat 6 and some friends) that uses WAY too much gas but the other car is small.

We get almost ALL the girls clothes hand-me-downs.  Shoes are pretty much the only thing we buy for them new that and bathing suits every summer.

We have a compost bin we try to use with worms in it eating our food scraps (no meat please).

We do not wrap birthday presents. We only reuse gift bags or paper in the house the girls decorate themselves.

We eat mostly organic non GMA foods.....
anything else you can suggest please (no room for a garden).

What do YOU DO?
