December is Conscious Consumer Month!

Every purchase you make has consequences. Before purchasing new items, consider if you really need them, or if you can reuse products you already have.  If you have to purchase new, do your research to look beyond the label at the sourcing of ingredients and the labor and the communities behind the product.
