Question: Global Warming: a reasonable solution everyone can support.?
GLOBAL WARMING—it’s the 100-foot-tall gorilla that will eat your children and the sack lunches you prepared for them with such care and love. You hear a lot about it these days. Setting aside the question is it real or not, we Americans and as well as people in other industrialized nations are being asked to contribute ideas for “going green” and I think we can all feel some degree of social pressure being exerted for each one of us to make some personal sacrifices. Some of these ideas are sensible and will save people money as well as conserving energy. But what you never hear about as a solution to wasteful consumption can be summed up in just one word: *** QUALITY ***
I always have to laugh when I see some economics expert talking about “durable goods.” What durable goods? American consumers are forced to buy cheap junk designed to fall apart 5 minutes after the warranty period ends.
I say it’s time we brought respect back to the “Made In USA” label.
A $ 30,000 car should last a lifetime. We shouldn’t have to keep replacing our household appliances, electronic devices, and clothing every few years. Planned obsolescence is now the new American way and we must plan the obsolescence of that anti-consumer attitude.
Foreign goods are fine and they should be welcome to compete with American products here at home and around the world. But . . . our quality standards must be raised to the highest in the world. This will have a dramatic impact on conserving energy and boost our economy at the same time. No one profits from junk except the junk dealers of this world.
There would be much less need to recycle, much less energy wasted on “disposable goods,” if products were built to last.
