TreeHugger was founded with the intention of showing how modern environmentalism doesn’t have to mean the abandonment of style or comfort of good design. In fact, sustainability demands those things, because caring about the environment doesn’t mean you won’t ever buy anything again, but it should mean that you will think about your purchases. Buying less, but better, is much smarter than buying cheap, mass-produced junk that is bound to break or wear out and be replaced with more cheap junk. In general, investing in quality-designed products is the wiser environmental choice because they will last longer and require fewer natural resources to produce and maintain.
