The same people who legislate that the average Joe has to pay for shopping bags to stem the amount of waste but does fuck all about planned obsolescence in products. Perfectly acceptable to throw that fridge freezer away after 5 years because it’s been engineered to fail. Simply must keep those pennies rolling in. Rusty fridge from the early 80’s still ticking away nicely in the garage though.

Incredible how lobbying by big business makes them exempt from their part in all of this despite their contribution to global warming being more impactful that the average Joe could make in multiple lifetimes.
