The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Ditching consumerism really helped me, I think. I no longer feel like I am giving things up. Just because something is available to purchase and I can afford it doesn't mean it is 1) good for me, 2) ethical ) harmless. This applies to food, goods, services.

I'd say that probably started with thinking about what it means to buy something and then being responsible for it. So the habit is thinking, "What am I going to do with this?" whenever I am considering buying something. Eventually the desire lessens and I no longer want things.
