buy more what? Mobile phones maybe?
If I ever stop to add it all up (and I don't, because I don't care) I actually live extremely frugally as far as the planet is concerned. I have a small, central, well insulated flat, I don't drive, I don't use public transport unless absolutely necessary, I have hardly ever been on a foreign holiday. (I was 35 before my first plane journey). Or a proper holiday at all in the last 10 years. I shop locally, choose organic or freedom food when I can, buy only what I need. I make an effort to buy British or even more locally produced goods when possible. I was shunning artificial fibres, plastic bags and unnecessary packaging long before there were campaigns about it. I turn off my lights, I don't buy bottled water, etc etc. I don't do any of these things because I give two hoots about environmentalism, or even believe most of the alarmist claptrap that gets spouted these days. I just prefer to live that way.
