Consumptogenic lifestyles either will reduce voluntarily now, or the planet will insist soon enough.

"Narratives of supply chains and raw materials are a poor fit for early modern Europeans’ “thrifty” habit of reusing and reworking goods into new forms. This essay stresses the importance of such habits for early modern work using the example of paper, as a medium, instrument, and epistemic resource in various domestic and scientific spheres. Thrifty perspectives challenge not only linear supply narratives but also enduring accounts of the identities of materials themselves."

« What resources? Except for silisium and aluminium and glass (for the frame), which doesn't require fossil fuels to produce, there are only trace amounts of materials in solar cells. »

Wait ? What ? These come out of the ground by themselves?

They use their own legs to go to the factory? Then the products leave the factory and get installed with their owns legs too?

Come one, please, get a bit serious.

I want people to realize that an insistence on a policy to all mining, is an insistence on someone else's backyard. The world isn't that big, out of sight does not mean it should be out of mind.
We have relatively good env. and human rights oversight in Europe, the same can not always be said to the places we are outsourcing our needs to...
