When couples get trapped in green consumption cycles

My partner and I keep buying 'sustainable' gadgets thinking we're helping but our closet is full of barely-used devices and we're spending more than ever and neither of us wants to admit we might be making it worse. We say we want to live more simply but every solution seems to require another purchase.
