It's not fashionable to talk about consuming less as a climate solution because our economy is based on selling us crap that no one needs.

@davidho Yes. We need to make things justify themselves more and just stop permitting worthless things to take up resources by existing.

For evidence visit any poundshop (or local equivalent) and check out the childrens aisles - plastic tat with no intrinsic play value that will often not even survive being taken out of the packet. How can we allow this stuff to exist?
