As a millennial I know what it's like to take comfort from something that is crass commercial, and ultimately bad for the environment (looks guiltily over at Switch)...

I share your perspective, but I'm not sure how to get people to see how to do better, because I myself am manipulated by similar forces, yet all I do is grumble about it as I fork over my money for the latest so the company can sell me little bits of the wonder I felt as a child back to me.

I don't even blame them. It's a big circle and I'm part of it.

PS. Sorry I wrote this as the caffeine was just kicking into higher great. It might be a bit much.
