| Adirondacks in January |
Early thoughts today are dappled with beams of spring sunshine while outdoors the sky is heavily overcast.
Browsing sandals begins mid February. Very pastel blue, pink and lavender are the colors I search for the most. The buy deciding factors, in order of importance, are: Size, style, price and lastly, color. Being color specific can heighten the challenge of shopping. It is also a money saver. I do not own any very pastel blue, pink or lavender sandals.
Years ago I bought a T-strap pair that wore well in a bright color. Almost 9 years later, I still look for them online. Whatever happened to staying with a good product is a mystery to me.
Not a big mystery though because the market appears to me, to be more interested in flashy new than solid standard styles. It is as if since we recycle, a majority feel a responsible lifestyle includes feeding the waste cycle instead of taking action to reduce our carbon footprint.

Their website has a carbon footprint calculator.
My carbon footprint is better than average. I believe that is due to my lack of spending/use of goods and services, and low travel mileage per year.
How is your carbon footprint?
