Society is trained to throw things away, to get a new thing, to spend when one doesn't really need to and replace things that are in perfect working order. It's wasteful and irresponsible on many levels, but that's what consumerism is all about I guess. I don't buy into it.
Throwing something out when it works perfectly is it a good thing. Sure, there's cases where it's valid, but people are mostly looking for the dopamine hit of purchasing and I think there's better ways to go.
Thanks for your comment.
