I definitely have made a personal resolution to think about every purchase I make. Think about it's impact on my life and it's impact on the earth. Sometimes I notice I just blindly purchase items without thinking about the repercussions of the purchase until I get it home and have buyers remorse. My husband bought an iron the other day. I use an iron quite a lot for quilting, but it was a cheap one and it doesn't work very well. It spurts water everywhere and doesn't heat evenly, it's all but useless. In our haste to save a few dollars we made the mistake of buying something that will have to disposed of, instead of thinking about the long term and making an investment in an item that will last a lifetime. NO New plastic this year!!! I know I can do it, I know my children can do it! I know that your family can do it and through us an inspiration to other families who never thought they could.
