Seriously, we can't keep enthusiastically buying into products that are more harmful to the environment and consumers just because they're ever so slightly more convenient than the alternative. This attitude of convenience over everything else is a large factor in how we ended up with a global climate crisis and a dystopian capitalist system.

You do not need same day delivery. You do not need a gimmick phone that you'll need to replace as soon as the soft plastic screen gets scratched a little too deep. You do not need a home AI assistant that collects data about everything going on in your "smart home".

What you do need is a world in which current and future generations can not only survive but also thrive. I think we can all sacrifice a bit of convenience for that.
