Climate Change vs. Conservation

I think it is common sense. We have one planet and we have to take care of it. Period. Let's take politics out of that part. Recycle, Reuse and Reclaim.

I took a college course on Conservation and it stuck. I have very little garbage.

Let the politicians kill each other over this. I am doing my part.

conservation doesn't work very well when a society geared toward cheap disposable import products puts the burden of recycling on the consumer...

we literally manufacture, sell, use, and dispose of plastic quicker than we could ever feasibly recycle & reuse it. And much of it isn't even recyclable.

Of course, it wasn't a problem when we still mostly used paper & metal and didn't buy everything from China...

@wildbill83 what bothers me are appliances. You can't get them fixed. the price of repair costs more than the replacement. that is the sad part.

@akindheart nothing is built to last anymore, and branding is irrelevant as they're all made in china/use chinese components

if you spend more on something, it's because you're buying more "features", not durability/reliability

@wildbill83 i learned the Chinese thing the hard way with TV's. I was told that all TVS were made in China (except for the chips made in Taiwan) but Zenith. i don't even think they are around anymore
