But, isn’t buying something from a thrift store as eco as you can get?

There is a new handbag exchange program out there where you get to “rent” a designer bag and return it for someone else to use when you are sick of it. That is pretty eco in my mind. We are buying less “stuff”…

I am totally against unfulfilled consumerism. It is my pet peeve. Anytime we buy anything whether it is eco or not it is wasting valuable world resources, as much as I am not a saint by any means, I am consciously trying to make an effort to not fall victim to this great American past time anymore.

I think around $100.00 was the most expensive bag I’ve purchased over the years!!

Having said that there will be many women who will purchase from this company but I won’t be one of them!!!

It seems that everywhere you look someone is peddling something green, so I’m guessing it’s become big biz.

I’ve never spent close to $700 on any personal item in my life!
