    Overconsumption sounds like blaming individuals instead of industries again. If I buy cheap kitchen knifes with plastic handles because I’m poor, they last a few months and break. If I learn how to sharpen a good knife it can last a small family years before it is gone from sharpening. It’s like nobody teaches people these “miraculous skills” like sharpening and simple repairs anymore, while simultaneously allowing the cheapest garbage, designed to disintegrate into dust, to be sold to them. We don’t have enough resources to allow low quality crap to be produced, because it doesn’t matter if it’s bought, it’s already wasted.
