Counting on … day 1.146

21st June 2023

Before I buy, I should ask myself:

  • Do I need it? 
  • If so, could I borrow or hire it?
  • Has it a good provenance?
  • Who made it, and were they fairly paid? 
  • What raw materials were used and are they sustainable?
  • Can it be reused? 
  • Can it be mended?
  • What will be its afterlife? 
  • Can it be recycled? What residue will it leave?
