A concrete step we have taken with my girlfriend over the past few months is buying second-hand items. It's crazy how much you save, and to know you have not contributed to creating more stuff.
There is an awesome campaign in France right now, encouraging this kind of behaviour : https://riendeneuf.org https://riendeneuf.org
- sudofail 8y agoWe've been doing the same thing, and it's great. We've also taken more time to sell unused items, even if they're only worth $10-$20. I look at it as a more effective form of recycling.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoThat's a really big thing, in the scope of individual action. If you buy less new stuff, less stuff needs to be produced and less environmental impact happens. Nobody needs a brand new coffee table, when there are plenty of perfectly decent ones for sale second-hand.
