![]() It is easy to be drawn to making purchases based on low cost or reduced environmental impact, but a more sustainable approach is to minimize purchases in general. Treehugger.com writer Katherine Martinko suggests making due with less. She argues that "it's almost always best not to buy, to make do with what we have, to consume less, to reduce demand for production and waste management services, to keep money in our own pockets. Sure, it's good to know about these companies for those times when we really do need to replace something, but simply to transfer our spending habits from conventional to eco-friendly sources doesn't really fix anything."* *Katherine Martinko, October 11, 2022.
