Do you see many expensive luxury products in the store that you would like to buy but are not willing to spend the amount even if you can afford it? It could range from many things such as video games, game counsels, DVDs, books and others.
Many of these things can be bought second hand (used) and save you a fraction of the cost if it were bought brand new.
The used products take up space in the shelves and await to be purchased and unless they are, they will just sit there.
Many resources go into these luxury products and packaging them in brand new condition. By buying used products they not only costs less, but you are not producing waste by purchasing them wrapped.
Also because these products already exist as a result of resource consumption, buying them would mean not having to buy a brand new one to finance more resource consumption.
So buy used products as much as you can. Purchasing used products is not just limited to simple luxury and other goods. Purchasing used tools and machinery such as cars, jeeps, generators and others ensures we have made full use of our resources instead of necessarily buying new and consuming more.
