This documentary is disturbing. People are worried about climate change but this is an environmental problem of epic proportions. I highly encourage everyone to watch this and we all need to really think, do we need to buy more stuff.

Companies don’t spend billions on marketing strategies and inferior products that don’t last if it wasn’t profitable….

Kinda sad actually to think of the number of people who are convinced and sold that many of there “needs” are truly “wants”.

I've been involved in a few discussions recently that started with Trumps proposed tariffs. The leaders of the USA made a conscious decision to move manufacturing off-shore to exploit the much lower labor costs. Part of that was the creation of consumerism and "disposable " consumer goods. It's an incredible waste of resources and a huge source of pollution.

The amount of waste is staggering. One statistic that is crazy. They manufacture around 120 billion pieces of clothing per year for 8 billion people. Some countries in Africa are getting hundreds of thousands clothes a week. They have so many they end up in the ocean. Clothing a couple feet deep littering the beaches. Stop "donating" clothes. Most end up in the ocean.

What do you do with old clothes thought?
I try to recycle everything I can. But recycling is a racket as well. Only want things that bring in money.

I’ve never been a fan of consumerism.

I buy used gear on Rokslide to save the planet. Not to save money.

I don't even know. I always thought I was helping people by donating them. I felt almost sick watching that documentary. It looks pretty hopeless.

Well, between all of the Asian garment workers you likely have 250 million workers......got to keep them employed making something. Would you rather they be making bombs to be lobed at the States? Ah, lets just keep buying those cheap shirts and shoes.

When I was a kid I knew a guy that had some kind of loom and made rugs out of old clothes. Those rugs lasted for decades.
