What kind of consumer are you?

Do you look at ingredients before you buy;
buy organic;
say no to plastic bags and packaging;
recycle;
grow your own;
barter with your neighbour;
buy animal cruelty free;
buy petro, phosphate and palm oil free;
walk, ride, car pool or use public transport;
support small business and local independents;
turn off appliances at the power point when not in use;
avoid companies that are connected to exploitation, poverty and war;
support non-profits in buying and wearing their T-shirts?

What do you do?

I buy cruelty-free, organic if possible, cosmetics and other products.

As for the other things, i try, but it is hard, especially when it is a mission just getting all the tasks I need to do done. If I was an NT I would do all those things.
