In January I purchased two non-edible items. I bought a new roll of masking tape at a regional grocery store and a used ball for my daughter at a non-profit resale shop that recycles any profit into vouchers for those in need.
A-
I feel good about the ball, especially given how much my daughter enjoys it. The masking tape is more problematic. In hindsight, I might have been able to find some at the Habitat-for-Humanity store. More importantly, the masking tape brings up the bigger issue of items that are inherently not reusable or reparable. Ballpoint pens, toothbrushes, and windshield wiper blades are other examples. I foresee a set of parameters for making such purchases more mindfully. Stay tuned.
