There Is Too Much Stuff

I don't want to have to return things! What a waste of packaging and shipping and effort. Now fraud detection and product QA are added to the gig economy, and we're paying for the privilege.

Then, as above, buy name brand items. The cost of buying off-brand is that occasionally you need to return.

I do that but still care about the environmental impact of thousands of other people that don't have either the means to buy name brand or the awareness of the problem they are causing.

I'd really like for crap products to disappear but... I don't see this happening in this world anytime soon.

Have you considered that people are making a rational choice to get something cheaper yet lower quality?
