We are what we buy

Make your buying decisions on the following questions:
1. Is this purchase something I need?
2. Do I already own something that will serve the same purpose?
3. Can I make or borrow something that will do the same thing?
4. Is my purchase locally made?
5. Is the product made with environmentally sustainable materials?
6. Was it produced by workers who are treated fairly under safe and healthy working conditions?
7. Can I easily compost or recycle the product when I'm finished with it?

Add your own question based on the experience from your home country.

Discuss with your group which of these tips have priority.
