Globalisation vs the environment Globalisation means consuming cheap stuff made in a low cost country that does usually not last that long and transported over long distances. Built to consume in cellphones are integrated batteries and cheap components that by design fail after three years so we buy a new phone. Integrated storage of a limited size that you cannot expand. Making things that does not last is more profitable than making things that last long why is that?
