Reasons Why Not to Shop On Prime

[Lulu KC]

1. I am so conflicted on this

Yes, I loathe Amazon. For so many reasons. But do I instead drive all over town to get things? That’s what it comes down to for me. I think the things we buy from even small, locally-owned businesses originate with poor labor and environmental practices during production, get carried across an ocean and half a country to get to a different warehouse with poor labor practices, and then are delivered to retailers by big fossil fuel spouting trucks.

But just today I went to a local compounding pharmacy for an Rx and saw that they have some supplements I mail order (not from Amazon) at a lower price. And I went through this whole thought process all over again!

I clearly don’t have an answer. My general approach is “avoid buying anything,” but you gotta have nail clippers!
