Really, I'm too slack about buying new clothes -- somewhere in the MBTI book, it says something about Ns taking it as almost a personal offense when clothes wear out, and I'm textbook on that. I hate shopping for new ones, but if I can spin my laziness as environmentalism, I'm all for it. ;) Seriously, though, it's more than that: my parents are long-time advocates of the philosophy that cheap isn't really cheap. Europe is way ahead of us on this, but my family has always supported the concept of buying a few well-made garments rather than many "disposable" ones. I liked this post.

Seriously? In all the "how big is your carbon footprint" self-assessments that I see, there's never a place to check how many children one has brought into the world.
