Or, most of the time, what was in your wallet?

One way to influence the world is to do so with your dollar (and cents). The things you buy (or don't buy) can affect change on a variety of levels. Therefore, the next time you're about to whip out that plastic to purchase what you want, ask yourself these questions (courtesy of The New American Dream):

• Do I need this?
  
• Could I borrow one instead?
  
• Will it use excessive energy?
  
• Was it made with fair labor practices?
  
• Does it come in excessive packaging?
  

You can also download your very own wallet buddy that lists these questions and many more.
