Reader responds to Secondhand:Travels in the New Global Garage Sale
Michel Hammes comments on Conservancy Book Review–
| I try to buy only sustainable clothing (made with consideration of the earth, long lasting and not made in sweatshops) and also buy from thrift stores. I also really think about what I buy- do I need it, can I upcycle or use it for something else? Can I fix it easily or will it break in a year? All in all- do we really need all the stuff the average person buys? It means more maintenance of stuff, which takes time away from just enjoying a simpler, but fuller life! I will have to check out this book! |
