Yeah, yeah, yeah, beat the “Big SUV” whipping boy some more. If the Gumint didn’t try to force everyone into the disgusting cars of the 70s, the market would have evolved into more efficient cars. Bigger than the do-gooders wanted but a hell of a lot better than the only alternative they gave us which was trucks. Once trucks became cool it was too late. It was part of the culture.
Stop worrying about what other people are driving and look at yourself. I mean look at your trash. That’s where you can see the problem.
Crap being thrown out because it was crap when you bought it. Flashlights that you can’t replace the battery in, and have to buy a new one. Disposable crap that clogs our landfills.
It takes energy to; make it, make the products to package it, move it sometimes half way round the world, then haul it away, haul the packaging away and haul your ass to the Mall to buy more crap.
We throw away TVs and PCs like they were tissues because new ones are cheaper than fixing the old ones. But that receipt only shows part of the cost were
going to pay for that item. It’s getting hard to buy anything that can be repaired, anything that can be disassembled and parts replaced.
You don’t have to be a tree hugging greenie, just stop throwing your money and the future away. Don’t blame the sellers for crap in excess packaging. You’re buying it. Stop buying and they’ll change damn quick, money talks.
“Oh, I’m just one person and I can’t affect(effect?) change.” Then don’t vote because your vote can’t make any difference. Same thing.
