Think before you buy/Help to Reduce Landfill.  Recycling sounds great, but today there are warehouses of recycled items without a back end that repurposes them for other uses. As a result, many items are ending up in landfills. Before making purchases consider the following:

• Is this a want or a need?

• Have you checked to see if you can obtain the item for free or by borrowing, renting or  used?

• Is it an impulse buy because it’s on sale and/or you’re having a bad day and are engaging in retail therapy?  

• Can you afford it?

• Buy quality so it lasts longer

• Make a plan before you buy about what you will do with the purchase once you no longer have a use for it.
