I try to donate to charity or give my friends and family services rather than goods because it helps cut down on waste. When I do buy goods, I try to buy them at a local brick-and-mortar store with a good environmental ethos.

Donating returns is my favorite solution, people who need those item can get them.

Be careful if you donate to goodwill, they dump a lot of donations too.

To all retailers and online stores: if I return something, if the item still functions and nothing is wrong with it, please just put it back on the shelf. How hard is that? SMH!

Too many humans creating too many wastes. 😂
