Awe, what's wrong? Did I challenge your world view? You're literally unable to give up anything so you resort to attacking people who live more sustainable lives than you? Yeah I'm using a device that was manufactured, but I never buy new.

I buy local, my home is powered by nuclear energy, I use recycled electrons, and I always buy second hand.

But you couldn't image a world where people reject consumerism. You're so consumer brained you couldn't image there's a way to ethically exist in the modern world.

So instead of insulting me on my success, how about you tell me why you can't do the same?

    You got a local, organic, sustainable, handmade phone or PC? Do you live in a cave? Do you only hunt and grow your own food?

    I don't think they proposed an all or nothing attitude. We as individuals can do "something".

    It's reduce, reuse and recycle.

    Like the one you're replying to, my phone is a 6 years old flagship, bought it 3 years ago similar case with most of my electronics, I bought it used.

    Got pretty old solar panel, little battery but meaningful capacity.

    I'm no vegan but since I'm SEA-an majority of my diet is plant based anyway. And it's not enough to fully sustain myself but I do grow a few kitchen staple.

    Use public transport, if none available then vote for whoever proposed it.

    I know it's a drop in the bucket in grand scheme of things. But that's the extent me as normal individual can do and I'm content.
