Let’s adjust the sanctimonious perspective .Remember when slavery was good ? Perhaps North America should be given back to the natives ? Making a virtue of the time when nobody had anything proves little . Cant remember that anyone was generally thrilled at wearing hand me downs . they just had no choice! Remember when the none returnable bottle was introduced ? almost everyone who said it was a bad idea was scoffed at then . Did the author protest or scoff ? Lots of things can still be repaired . When my CRT based tv finally died I replaced it with an LCD widescreen (much smaller than wales ) . when that went wrong I repaired it ( using among other other things the repair info I tracked down on the internet ) . My monitor went wrong and I repaired it . my mower is electric but that has been repaired a dozen times . BUT paying someone to repair them would have made no economic sense . The people of today are no better or worse than those in the past . And those in the past are not automatically superior to those in the present . they just think they are . and versa! maybe that’s why it’s all a bit of a mess…

It’s one we don’t want to admit in the way we all live in western cultures. The problem is we buy too much and consume too much in the first place, and therefore we have more to throw away (more to recycle). While some of the comments are valid that we do much better now that we did in the 70′s in regards to recycling, the fact remains that back in the 70′s we had LESS stuff.

The US government just printed more money. Stimulus they call it. What is the purpose? To boost up a false bubble economy and ultimately get people to spend more money. Our economies are based on everyone over spending. To do that we need to discard our old stuff to buy new stuff. Going Green is Great, but it will take a change in the way we live to change the world. Maybe it’s good that everything collapses so we can learn to live on just what we need.
