buylesslivemore.org was created to help Americans make better, more mindful decisions by providing information not readily available anywhere else. We believe that most Americans, given the opportunity and the information required, will act in a manner that:

• Is good for the environment rather than detrimental
• Helps developing countries and their citizens rather than exploiting them
• drives peace rather than conflict

In other words, we believe that most Americans would rather help than hinder.
