Counting on … day 130

Wanted 

There is no point in buying something you don’t want! Buying something on a whim and then discarding it is a waste of resources. It is not a sustainable approach. 

Equally there is not much point in buying something for someone else (say as a Christmas present) if it’s something they don’t want. One solution might be to agree within your family/ circle of friends that you will buy presents from charity shops with the premise that no one should feel guilty about returning something unwanted back to the charity shop.
