A few years ago, I had to buy new handkerchiefs, the ones made of cloth, and it was so hard to find a place to buy some it made me realize that these type of handkerchief had become obsolete. There is no issue with them, they are easy to wash and reuse, they are soft on your nose, though they got replaced by their throwable ersatz.
How did it happen ? What made us think that we could throw away most of the things that we use ?
Paper plates, plastic cups, q-tips, tissues, clothes, electronic gadgets, wrappings, plastic bags, and so on...
How did we enter this economy and life where one throws most of the objects after their first use without question ?
I guess we believed our resources were infinite and our trash cans are infinitely expandable.
What the hell are we thinking ?
What are we waiting for to change our bad trashing habits ?
