Our govt is looking at legislation now so if that goes ahead it could eventually mean anything purchased has to be repairable within reason, I guess.(29-11-2021, 08:15 AM)harm_less Wrote: I was asking for a definition, that's only a synonym.
Look, no need to get offended, I self identify as a bit of a tree hugger.
But my definition of a tree hugger (I find the term "Greenie" tends to be used as an insult), is someone who wishes to conserve resources and reduce waste, especially waste which cannot be disposed of.
It hurts me to see how much waste there is which cannot be disposed of, but is just buried as there is nothing else which can be done with it. Surely we cannot keep just burying all of our problems for all time?
Couldn't one try to reuse existing articles rather than causing new articles to be manufactured? That could possibly conserve resources?
