It all seems a bit self defeating, surely for it to work all companies in a sector would have to agree?
I say this because since I can remember, my dad has banged on about years ago people brought the products that lasted. He was saying back then cars and such where made to last and manufactures would make boasts about how well built etc. My mum is the champ though, she has a old Black and white portable TV she got as a gift secondhand when she was 9 or 10.
Its never broken down! She has my Grand mothers kitchen radio thats older than my mum and that still works. Surely considering waste and finite resources it just dosnt make sense to make crap? Ok so people might end up paying more for a TV, but wouldnt most people spend a bit more money to have something that lasts?
I wonder what things will be like when I am the age of some on here...........Will there even be electric around? Maybe oil etc will last me out and maybe even my kids (if I have any), but what about my future Grandchildren? Do we leave them in the dark unable to read the letter that says sorry for no oil or electric or many other things we had that you dont, its just that we all wanted cheap TV's and stuff and although we new one day it would run out, to be honest we didnt care much.
I wonder which generation will be the one to write the letter?
I dont want it to be mine or even my future kids.......... It would be so cool if people wernt selfish and just said, tell you what not matter what happens I will only ever buy 2 TV's or whatever in my life time, if they break then they break and I do without. How many people do you think it would take to do that and make things change?
Sorry I dont mean to be funny but I am 15, if things go in my favor I should have at least 60 years ahead of me. so if I have kids when I am say 30, and they have kids at 30. then really we are talking about my future grandchildren that will suffer! I wonder how many of the people over say 40 or 50 on here would have done more if they had known there grand children would of suffered? But most likely it wont be your grand children (my generation) that pay the price, but my grandchildren. Kind of a very very sad thought to have at 15.............
