The problem is that almost everything is manufactured by a corporation now, and in urban areas buying handmade isn’t even an option. Try not trusting Fairphone at least a little bit when literally everyone else is even worse, and see how long you can live in a world where everything is an app. Smartphones have become the car of the internet, they remove the ability of a product or service to be accessible without a phone and some sort of service contract.
I think you both have good points, there’s a lot we can do to tackle the problem, the question is what do we do today?
Not entirely a rhetorical question, either.
To jump to where my thinking goes, regulation seems to be the big hurdle, no?
