    Companies aren’t out there polluting for the fun of it (though yes we need regulation). They are producing stuff we consume.

      Yes because we all need 50 different varieties of plain chips on the supermarket shelf because since birth they have subjected us to some of the most intense propaganda to make us think brand A is better than Brand X, and we all need to update our phone because planned obsolescence means it’s designed to break at a certain time.

      The system is designed to make it so, don’t blame the victims instead of the perpetrators.

        Do you think 2 billion kg of chips from a single brand would be better for the environment than 2 billion kg of chips from 50 different brands?

      Abuser/abusee mentality at play.

      Why does the person being abused return to the abuser so often?
