What is your definition of a 'Greenie'?

Or just what they can afford, perhaps. I don't think anyone really - except perhaps for manufacturers - would object to things being repairable.

Buy second hand, that way it is affordable. Did people used to do that in previous times? Before everything was outrageously cheap new?

Yep, & some of us still do, where possible. But mostly back in the day, while things were made to last they were also often repairable.
