Shaving is an example of how consumer products extract more money
My dad bought me one of these bulky 12 speed razors, 5 years ago. I&#x27;ve used 1 cartridge from it about 6 months ago. I hadn&#x27;t shaved my face since before they came out. I use a clipper to keep it trimmed. Why use any disposable product whatsoever.<p>His point on single use plastics is spot on. I know a lot of people that love to lecture me about my moralistic views, the types of people who believe in overpopulation and are sad about the plastic in the ocean, not a single one of them pays any mind to the packaging of anything they buy. I do, and I&#x27;m not even one of those people. My &quot;footprint&quot; is probably less than 10% of most peoples, and I don&#x27;t even care the way they do.<p>People consume too much disposable crap. People act like they have to buy what&#x27;s on offer. People are convinced they&#x27;re helpless in the face of corporations. Start refusing to buy things and stop making excuses and until then you should feel ashamed to lecture anyone about anything.
