Just how much "consumerism" is really needed though ?
Do people really reed to "upgrade" their 'phone every year ?
I linked earlier to Fairphone. It's not so slick as an iPhone, but it's half the price AND it pays the people who make them a fair wage AND get the materials in a more environmentally friendly way AND it's designed to repairable and have a long life.
A lot of us don't want "business as usual". Business as usual is wrecking the planet and exploiting people. The only people that are doing well are those at the top - the ones using the "Chinese machine" to their advantage. We need something fairer and more ecologically sustainable.
