What are some anti-consumption habits you inherited from your parents?

I’ve seen a fair bit of discussion about excessive consumption from older generations, but what are some habits you got from your parents that fit with anti-consumption?

Here are some of mine:

• Reusing gift bags, bows, and tissue paper. Also keeping the scraps from gift wrap because you never know when you might need to wrap a gift for which the scrap is a perfect size.

• Fixing rips in clothes or repurposing to rags after they’re “too far gone.”

• Wearing out what you have already before buying a replacement.

• Investing in quality things that will last, not what is cheap or flashy or “cool” at the time.
