Our planet is polluted to the extent that there are probably more plastic in the sea than fish. The fish we eat all have digested plastic, and some die in pain.
Companies produce junk that last for only a few years. These days many things are produced in countries that don't have a clue how to make quality products, or they do it om purpose, to make a bigger profit. Many of them also use child labour for very little pay.
While we are all told to not buy new things and throw away all the time, we don't have much choise, do we! Unless we can afford to buy expensive quality products. We should do, because they last three times as long.
On the bright side... I saw that some retired people had started a "Repair Cafe." I think that is a brilliant idea.
"Repair Café" is the place where you can come by and get different things repaired for free. We have 'fixes' for most things that people bring. Everyone there are volunteers and very skilled with their hands, they will do everything they can to help."
