You mean you'll just keep posting endless articles regardless?
LOL
I think you don't get the basic truth, which is people will do mostly what is in their best interest. Of course folks will help out a neighbor or fellow churchgoer and if the government forces them they'll obey whatever law comes along but overall they do what is best for themselves.
The reason we have a throwaway economy is because we want it! People will buy 2 cheap things instead of one good thing even if they only need the one, it is just our nature.
I think I said it before but I'll make the point again, "planned obsolescence" is just our rationalization for our own bad choices - "They" are getting us because the cheap crap we buy falls apart. Heaven forbid we take the rap for being cheap and buying bells and whistles and BOGO sales instead of rewarding manufacturers that build quality products and pay a good wage to their people.
But be optimistic, eventually there will be a sustainable, recycling, circular economy, I guarantee it - but I guarantee it won't be voluntary, LOL
