One way to make your life more green is to practice mindful shopping. Before you buy something new, ask yourself the following questions:
Is this something of quality that will be timeless or meaningful?
Will it help me have the lifestyle that I am striving for?
Will I regret it a month from now if I don’t buy this today?
How is it impacting the planet– who made it, how far did it travel, what materials is it made of?
Since I started asking myself these questions, I have cut down so much on impulse buys. Now all of the things that I bring into my home have meaning, and are not just creating clutter!
