Ever think about how much we consume? I mean how much we shop, buy new things..how much time corporations put into marketing campaigns just to get us to spend more money on things they have convinced us we need?
I do and have been thinking about it more over the past several months. What do I really need and what are ways I can decrease my spending habits.
Recently I came across a great site called Etsy. It's a great little online store for all things recycled, reused, and handmade. I love it! Most of the products are handmade, many by artists. It is such a great place to buy thoughtful, unique gifts for other, or just a little something for yourself. They have everything, believe me. Plus it is such a great way to buy things that are home made by someone, or something recycled and turned into something fantastic, all ways to decrease our impact on using natural resources and an amazing way to support some seriously talented folks out there!
"Our ties to the local and human sources of our goods have been lost. Buying handmade helps us reconnect.”
