Industry irresponsibly uses our resources

 Some of you might still have old machines and technical devices at home that are so old, that you can't buy them in any shop anymore. Also it is very hard to get spare parts for them if they ever break. Yet those older things usually last a lot longer and are of a better quality than most modern technical devices produced these days. And how many of you have experienced lately, how things suddenly break a day or a weak after the guarantee has run out? Strangely that happens all the time lately. Things are designed to break just after that time to make sure we buy something new. It's all just to make money. The companies producing those things make sure you will have to buy a new one every two or three years.
Already that would be a reason to boycott them and rather buy the few quality built things that still exist. Further it is an exploitation of all our resources because the broken material usually can't be recycled and to produce new stuff all the time they use more and more material until there's none left. This is a very irresponsible way of using the already limited resources and it won't only get us into trouble but also all the following generations. All our children and grandchildren and so forth won't have the resources they need anymore, just because our generation used them all by producing and buying cheap ware that breaks after a while.
The best thing you can do against this is to buy stuff that really lasts long, good quality things and usually old stuff. For most things, like cars also applies that metal made things last longer than plastic.
