Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

Before buying something new, check a resale site first. Shopping secondhand helps extend the life of perfectly good products, reduces demand for new manufacturing and keeps usable items out of landfills. Just keep one thing in mind: The biggest environmental benefit comes when a pre-owned purchase replaces something you would have bought new, not when it becomes an excuse to buy more than you actually need. And with many sellers now flipping inexpensive goods online for profit, be sure your purchase is truly giving an item a second life rather than simply fueling another cycle of consumption.
