RE: Made to last, days gone by!

in #politics7 years ago

I am thinking now of how my dad is used to the idea of repairing his faulty electronics. That was the old way, nowdays you realize it doesnt worth it, when something gets defective you replace it with a new one.

Sort:  

I still repair, and the consumerism of replace rather than repair is a major problem as we fill the land up with old broken products, the UK alone ships 100's of millions of tonnes of broken items to be land filled in poorer countries, leaving them with "our" problem as the governments in these places do not think about the health affect on their own people.
WE are a waste society now.
