I disagree. Our planet doesn't give a shit. It was long before us here and it will remain even longer after last one of us. Our living environment on the other hand is suffering. I know this is semantics we are talking about, but it does point just how stupid we are. It's tantamount to shitting under your own window and wondering why everything stinks.
Part of the reason why our environment is suffering is that it takes a lot more energy (which causes pollution) and raw materials (which also take energy and cause pollution) to make and ship a new thing than it does to fix the one you have. Sure it’s not a huge percentage overall, but imagine if every thing you had suddenly lasted 3 or 4 times longer. The sheer amount of new things you had to buy would drop substantially, along with all that’s required to produce and sell them to you.
Oh, I don't speak against right to repair idea. Am just pointing out it's not planet we need to protect, it's a mud ball hurtling through universe, but we need to protect our living environment as we have no other to rely on.
