Enough

We don't need to participate in this shameful American tradition. This holiday,lets think more about giving and less about buying.

This montage put to beautiful Christmas music says it all. A stunning summary, in just a few minutes - from Black Friday madness to the toxic trash heap, it's the story of our endless, made overseas, good for nothing stuff!

Time to say: Enough.

Here are some great guidelines to follow for all your shopping throughout the year.
Before you buy something, ask yourself:

* Do I need it?
* How many do I already have?
* How much will I use it?
* How long will it last?
* Could I borrow it from a friend or family member?
* Can I do without it?
* Am I able to clean and/or maintain it myself?
* Am I willing to?
* Will I be able to repair it?
* Have I researched it to get the best quality for the best?
* price? How will I dispose of it when I'm done using it?
* Are the resources that went into it renewable or nonrenewable?
* Is it made or recycled materials, and is it recyclable?
* Is there anything that I already own that I could substitute for it?
