We've sort of got to grips with the problems with #fastfashion, and while not completely resolved we can now acknowledge the issue(s) that lie behind it... now we need to take a look at #FastTech, whose products end up in #landfill leading to further #environmental consequences in the long-run.
The #righttorepair campaign hasn't really even touched this problem, even if its starting to gain traction for more established #technology.
We can't keep poisoning the #earth
