Well. I’ve made my last Amazon order. If you want an amazingly thorough look at why the globalisation of consumerism enabled by Amazon will see its end, dive into The End of the World is Just the Beginning by Peter Zelhan. But none of that has to do with why I decided to focus on buying local, paying attention to where my money goes, and buying directly from small businesses whenever I can. The Institute for Local Self-Reliance has a pretty good rundown of all the whys.

Am I still going to share my final Amazon order? Yep. Sure am. It’s silly and random and probably a really good example of why Amazon also wasn’t good for my pocketbook. Who needs this stuff? I certainly don’t, but I still bought it. Here’s the order. And, yes. I’m linking. I’m not even an affiliate but I do know how annoying it is to not have the link. You’re welcome? And maybe this could be your last Amazon order, too!
