Philosophical Dilemma
OK, so as the topic states, I have a Philosophical dilemma. Environmental sustainability and taking care of the Earth is very important to me. I think about nearly everything I do and how it impacts the environment. I am very passionate about humane business practices, as well. I try my best not to shop at stores that I think have questionable business ethics. For example, I hate Wal Mart.
I have been making my own household clearners for a while now, and have just begun making my own laundry detergent, too. Since I have been making all my own cleaners, I use a lot of baking soda, vinegar, and washing soda. Herein lies my dilemma. Instead of buying these items at the grocery store, I buy them at Sam's Club (my parents have a membership) in bulk (which are usually really large containers). So. Does the amount I'm saving on packaging outweigh the fact that I am supporting a store whose business practices do not match my values.
Disclaimer: I'm just curious about what people have to say. I've already made up my mind that the packaging issue is more important to me.
