If you use your weekends to run a marathon worth of errands, stop and think for an extra minute (or five) when deciding what to buy. Is what you’re buying durable and will it last for a long time? Can it be repaired if it breaks, instead of being thrown out? By purchasing higher-quality items, you will save space in landfills and won’t be guilty of clutter in your ever-shrinking attic or storage closet. By making sure you really need what you buy and by making sure that what you buy is long-lasting, you’ll save money and our planet.
