Minimalism is the other one I'm looking at, for past decade or so. Not as far along as I'd like yet in terms of stuff, but consumption is way down. Clothes, equipment, etc. Making things work for longer, DIY repairs, primarily buying used goods.

But the system is totally geared against all this. If someone or a group could reverse even parts of consumer culture it'd be a potentially huge win for the planet. And for people's sanity.

I agree that long-living products would be better for resource efficiency.

Which part of consumer culture would you like to change if you had a magic wand? e.g. which action or believe would you like to change?

My shot is that people would prefer subscriptions of long-living products because companies need some kind of cashflow but also an incentive for optimising efficiency.
