Choose Quality over Quantity

The diversity of products and services we use is so broad and varied that I cannot make a reasonable list of specific recommendations.  Instead I encourage you to include nature as a key influence in your daily purchasing decisions.  To me, sustainable thinking means choosing to consume less material goods and putting effort into reducing my ecological footprint.  For the products I purchase I am willing to pay a premium for quality, durability, energy efficiency, re-usability, fair working conditions, and products made in ways and from materials with comparatively low environmental impacts to the competition.  I aim to support businesses that are small scale and local, over big business and brand names.  I try to fix things that are broken, and follow the 3-Rs.
