Well I think we can change that. There's no constitutional proclamation that says we have to be a consumer society. gen Z are much more conscious of these issues, we could help guide them towards more responsible purchases and intentional living, and the market should slowly follow
Only the American economy depends on the constant consumption, and we can clearly see how that ended: with riots and looting in the streets, a true beacon, pinnacle of success.
Other economies are much more content to pay for reuse and repair.
However, we are fighting against the market on this. It is the same as the software subscription vs one-time-purchase model.
The economy depends on people constantly consuming, buying new things. Trend started long before Amazon and Wallmart; they just accelerated it.
