Let’s Move to a Recycling Economy

The average lifetime of a consumer product – TV, car, cooker etc – is only about 10 years.
I don’t know how anyone can afford to replace everything they own every 10 years or so but there you go.
I am more worried about the effect on the planet.
We need to make everything more expensive so people feel the need to make things last longer, and repair things before they are replaced.
