The other day I was sorting out my recycling bin separating plastic from pet and a lot of the things I’ve found where plastic but not recyclable such as food containers for Daly meat, like wtf, we as the consumers are asked to do the hard work when they could simply increment some rules for these companies to make at least fully recyclable containers so we won’t have as much waste as we do, but no too hard to ask let’s just make the consumer worry and do all the hard work for us

I was a trash man for years. We all know the old saying that goes: "One man's trash, is another man's treasure ". Believe it or not, I worked in certain areas that was high end. They would literally throw away brand new items that were still in boxes. Simply because they don't want it anymore. So it's no surprise. They ( in my opinion) could give the rest to homeless or people who are less fortunate.

That inflated sense of importance gets severely diminished if homeless shelters are filled with them. It's selfish, yea. But when your entire business model is shaped by the allure of "rich people product," it becomes important to gatekeep the poor from possessing it. You don't have to agree with it to understand the business logic behind it. Donating = less profits.

Amazon warehouse is great. I've bought a few things from there, basically brand new, at significant discounts. I also buy most of my items on secondary markets like eBay, Craigslist, Mercari, Poshmark, Grailed, etc. There are certain things like mattresses that shouldn't be bought on there, but everything else is pretty much fair game. Lots of companies and people, including me, sell things that are either new, refurbished or barely used. It's a good way to get rid of your excess stuff that has value. I've gotten half my clothes, my cell phone, laptop, Blendtec Blender, watches, Allen Edmond dress shoes all at about 50% off regular prices.

Yes put an end to designer clothes, and make more shirts with made to order prints. Mass manufacturing of the same item is the problem. The only reason an item should be returned is if it is defective or the wrong item. Returns should not be so easy either. Buying on Amazon is like going on a blind date. The pictures often aren't the real product being sold and if it is used the real condition is often unknown. Amazon should go out of business for all I care.

Because, for a fact, goods produced in a capitalist economy do not sell for use value, but rather exchange value. Meaning, what a person believes an item is worth, what they will spend. If consumers see poor people wearing their name brand clothes, it drives down the value, all due to consumer opinion. So unsold goods are more valuable if the go to dumps or are burned. Remember that the next time someone tells you that capitalist markets are efficient and logically determine how resources should be used and/or distributed. You want this to change? Socialism is the answer. For a fact. Not an opinion.

(Also then made in Mali clothes would be considered a luxury or status item because they’re significantly more expensive than American brands). Though yeah, American retailers could also just stop producing so much damn clothing Americans don’t need or don’t fit into.

How you the consumer can help reduce waste and stop companies from producing so much •buy only the food you need for the week, while you may think that may waste gas compared to buying it for the month, I guarantee you whatever you may save on gas will produce 2x the waste in food that goes bad, meal plan at the beginning of the week then get the ingredients, also make sure to eat leftovers. You can also shop from farmers markets to help reduce cost even further, but it’s okay if you absolutely afford it(though if you can afford a high end phone you can afford slightly more expensive food) •buy only a few high quality clothing, same thing with the food, whatever you save on soap will be wasted twice fold on low quality clothing that gets thrown away, so better to just get a few high quality clothes that will last a while. A general rule I have with mine is wear it at least three times, then it can be washed unless it’s really bad •run everything that you use into the ground. your phone? If it got usable internet then use it. Your tv? If it’s running just fine you don’t need a new one. Your car? If it goes vroom vroom without having to go to the shop every three months it’s still good. Basically what it comes down to is to buy only what you need and buy it quality, it will last longer.
