Impulse buying can create unnecessary spending and overconsumption, which drives climate change (increasing our greenhouse gas emissions) By taking a breath before we buy something, asking ourselves whether we really do need it, we are thinking of our Mother Earth and prioritising her.
Here are things you could do when you feel stressed/bored instead of resorting to shopping for a thrill:
> Connect with nature (it’s free and rejuvenating).
> Connect with your family or friends (human connection is priceless).
> Go shopping IN your closet – what new outfit combinations can you come up with?
> Read a book to relieve boredom.
