And don’t buy a hybrid car - keep your current car going as long as possible. If the car companies really cared about the environment, they would make really durable, easy to fix cars. Much like some of the cars of the 1970s, but with better rust-proofing.

Enjoyed viewing the story of stuff. The whole ‘built-in-obscelescence’ things gets me. Every time I buy an i-pod it routinely dies after two years. It’s the same situation with my printer, it’s cheaper to buy a new one than buy ink cartridges. I have friends who put their printer on the roadside, cause in their view there was no point in keeping it, if they could get a new printer and ink cartridges. I just can’t believe the phenomenal amount of energy it would have taken to manufacture/assemble/deliver this printer only to see it unwanted & binned 6 months down the track
