I'm Shemitah Basu.
Today, a guide to smarter, more ethical shopping for the holiday season.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe this is happening.
I'm catching a live delivery.
Yesterday, five packages arrived at my house separately.
That's probably for me.
So many packages these days.
Thanks a lot.
Take care today.
It's just been one so far.
That brings this week's delivery count up to nine.
And if you can't tell, I'm kind of horrified.
I'm one of those people who knows.
It's probably not great to do all of my shopping online, but I'm having a baby in a few weeks and gifts are starting to roll in and it seemed like a good idea to buy myself a comfy house robe and a few other things, not to mention, the holidays make this one of the busiest times of the year for online shopping.
All of this got me thinking about how we shop, why we shop, and how so much of the stuff we buy for ourselves and for others ends up becoming junk.
Earlier this week, we asked you, our listeners, to tell us how you have re evaluated your shopping habits in recent years.
Hello, my name is Robin Spencer.
I'm Liz.
