Broken things...

 Hello Reader,

It was a bright sunny spring day, and I took the opportunity to do the small chores

I had today, such as market shopping, planting flowers, repairing garden furniture, plucking the weeds one by one with hand (I don't use pesticides to get rid of the weeds, because I have a bunny living under my shed we named her Suzy and she enjoys eating them, I only pluck the flowers, the rest is eaten by her also at this time of the year I leave some patches of weed with flowers for the bees, they need food as well)..

Yes, I also said I mend garden furniture...

Unfortunately, whatever you buy nowadays, don't last very long...

I believe the products are intentionally done like these so that we can go and buy new ones

I simply hate this....

Not because you had to pay over and over for the same thing...

That is annoying enough but there is a worse thing....

We get something which already caused lots of carbon emission, plastic and chemical pollution for a very short amount of time...Also, knowing that junk which break down on you is high likely going on to a landfill...Maybe contributing to turning into micro plastics that is dispersed to the environment damaging wildlife and threatens our health as well...These are spread everywhere and unfortunately its not the microplastics anymore, we already have those stuck in our organs already...the stupid plastic additives that are used to color, provide softer textures to plastics such as bisphenols, phthalates have similar chemical structures to hormones and these mimic them...The outcome is what we observe with infertility in modern societies, hormonal in-balances observed in the kids.. horrific.  

The people who design the products with shorter use life for increasing sales and for the greed of higher profit margins...I am hearing that people doing this kind of inhumane acts are telling me everybody is doing the same thing why I shouldn't do...I also hear them telling me that you cannot stay in the market if you do the opposite because you cannot compete...

My answer to you is BULLSHIT! If you want you can do it better its a choice...

You are terrible people......If you look to these kind of people they would drive tesla for showing off  how environmental they are but do these horrific stuff...FAKENESS....

Anyways, unfortunately, you need to use many things to live in todays world...

How can you do choices which does not contribute to this consumerism frenzy...?

To begin with if you can try to get things that have longer life....and Expose the products that break on you!!! So that people be aware and producers would consider producing long life products..

Another thing, start to learn mending stuff... Its a good hobby and will give you a skill.

Additionally, you should take care less on how people will perceive you using still broken stuff, as mended...

Don't give in to people calling you a cheapskate.... Its better than being a inconsiderate piece of toxic waste...

Sorry I cannot say "piece of shit" to that kind of people because "shit" is a valuable commodity...

it fertilizes plants...

If you cannot mend you can consider to reutilize it as well...

Unfortunately, the recycle system is not working very accurately....We all are hearing that the governments all around to world being caught red handed dumping the recycle trash into landfills...

or selling them to third world countries..

Change is not easy but we all are victims and actors in this story....

We all have the responsibility on our parts with the daily simple decisions we make...

Last night I slept very late howling under the full moon as a wolf

 moon bathing on my couch...

So I am very sleepy...

I will sleep again on the couch listening to weird shit

while bathing with moonlight....

half a sleep

hope to write you tomorrow..
