    You don’t need to abolish capitalism completely to stop anti consumer and anti environment practices. There’s such a thing as social capitalism.

    You “just” need to stop with untethered capitalism and disaster globalism. Tax corporations. Make them pay for the resources they extract from the planet. Make them responsible for providing repair manuals and parts and recycling old devices.

    Twenty years ago it would have been unthinkable that a phone or TV doesn’t get updates after two years and becomes trash. We have to go back to that.

    Corporations effectively can do what they want. We need to work together on a global scale to stop that. Educate people.
