Some products eventually end up as trash,
and if not properly disposed or recycled,
can further harm our environment.
Before buying a product, think about how it will impact our environment.

Do you really need it?

Will it just end up as
trash later?
Do I already have something
I can use instead?
Before buying a product, think about how it will impact our environment.

Buy only what you can
