I'll quit meat completely (already eating less than 1 lbs/week, so it's easy) if someone else starts buying new devices only when the battery starts failing? Because that infuriates me to no end, "lololol I still have my S7, but the S8 looks better, and my laptop is out of storage space".
- AstralStorm 7y agoAnd then you will move the goalposts and nothing will change. Many people do that... Anyway, the point is to not strike at consumers, but the producers. Taxation and environmental targets are the way to do it.
- jotm 7y agoWhat goalposts though? I can safely say "I'm doing my part". But overall it's nothing, not even a blip. There's more spoiled meat and broken phones in the local dump than I'd ever use. This only works if everyone does it, production will fall of there's no demand. Although that would bring economic problems in the current system... Taxation may work, but the best way is to change the culture. The alcohol and tobacco tax has skyrocketed, yet people still drink and smoke a lot. I think the mindset of "not smoking is better, I'd rather never start" worked better than the taxes.
