I have been shopping around this last week for my Halloween costume. My daughter bought me a cape with the recycle symbol on it a while back, so I am going to use that and be a green superhero. I found something to wear with it at a thrift store which was a very green way to do things I imagine. But I really, really want to buy these green boots I saw at the Halloween store. And a matching green wig! I can actually give you around 10 different ways to justify the purchase, but I won't that's not the point.
My point is when I was married and had money I wouldn't have had a second thought about buying the boots (and the green wig)I would have just bought them. They really do match the cape and would be super cute. But I am not going to buy them. I have instead went with what I have in my closet (black boots)to create the costume. I don't need any more 'stuff'. And besides it's what eco-girl would do.
Not having money has been a good lesson for me. Having less green in the wallet is making me more green for the planet.
