the cost has gone into our environment

This quote rings true. I didn't used to think about cheap purchases, clothing or otherwise, and now I always do. As an example, I recently saved up for a vacuum cleaner, found a bunch of poor reviews (and questionable factory work conditions) on the cheaper vacuums, and decided I need to save up four times the amount so I'm not buying a cheap appliance that will end up in the land fill.
