I like the idea that when I buy stuff, I follow these principles:

1. Make sure it’s well-designed from good sustainable materials and I will use it for a long time.
2. Whoever made it should be paid a fair wage for where they live.
3. I can’t make it myself for less money than it cost to buy it.

I appreciate it’s not always to tick all these boxes but I would generally prefer to achieve as many as possible.
