My cd player in my stereo only lasted about 10 years, but now my parents use it for just the radio. So I guess that's good.Miss Subhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807393272869913743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599075.post-91050957168113082022007-10-31T03:30:00.000-07:002007-10-31T03:30:00.000-07:00My computer is an old one a friend gave me (yes, p...My computer is an old one a friend gave me (yes, people actually give things sometimes), my cell phone is 4 years old and I don't intend to change it unless I drown it by accident in the shower, and my cd player and bike are almost 15 years old.<BR/><BR/>I thought I was a spoiled European girl, but now thanks to that post, I'm relieved. I'm not that spoiled, but rather some country girl who keeps old stuff like her grandma would. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599075.post-14742662151003830072007-10-31T02:37:00.000-07:002007-10-31T02:37:00.000-07:00I don't think we have to deprive ourselves of ever...I don't think we have to deprive ourselves of every single thing we want just because they are unnecessary for our survival.<BR/><BR/>Can you find a used one on Craigslist or eBay? Can you find a used MP3 player that is not necessarily an iPod?<BR/><BR/>Can you give yourself a certain amount of "cool off time" to wait and see if you still really want one? Compulsive purchasing is a problem. But maybe an iPod would be a really useful and enjoyable thing to have and ethically okay if you don't buy new things very often.<BR/><BR/>Some days I just thank my lucky stars for all the stuff I bought before my enviro-consciousness kicked in and I stopped bying stuff. I love running with my iPod!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
