    Yeah, even if we didn’t reuse, we could at least recycle. We got so into the craze of shoving computers in everything we stopped considering if we might be better off sticking to easily fixable tech for some things. My appliances are old as dirt, but parts are very affordable, there are 100s of youtube videos on how to fix them, and there are very few things that can break to begin with. That’s a far cry from the landfill of bricked smart fridges next to a factory somewhere.
