Fashion, tech, and auto industries have embraced #extractivecapitalism in pursuit of #infinitegrowth; consumers can challenge that by breaking our addiction to iterations of shiny new everything at lowest sticker price - we are only offsetting true cost to the planet and humanity, because the planet or someone has to bear it. It is non-negotiable.

From perspective of a fmr R&D Eng and current Prod Mgr (HW and SW) I believe transparency of #lifecyclecost based upon typical use may help consumers #buyforlife.
