28. Avoid buying too many new things
Every time you buy something fresh, it almost always generates extra waste. Products often come with cards, plastic packaging, boxes, containers, and shopping bags. If you’re the type of shopper because you’re bored, you might want to find another hobby. This not only benefits the ecosystem but can save you money as well. When you appreciate what you already own, it’s a lot easier to feel happy and content.
The products that you admire will be available in stores, whether you buy them or not. But buying unnecessary new things only helps create demand in the economy. So if everyone cuts down on buying things they don’t need, it will also reduce waste in general as well as at home.
