If you have to replace an item do you buy a new item or used item?

In: Shopping [Edit categories]

Answer:

Whether you replace an item with a new item or a used item depends on three factors:

whether you want a new or used item
whether the item is still manufactured or sold
whether you have enough money to buy a new version.

Additionally, many people choose to buy "gently used" items to help conserve the natural resources. Every manufactured item uses some type of fuel for manufacturing, whether the fuel is electricity, gas, oil, coal, etc. So by buying used, you can help save the earth's resources.
