A less easy fix, but one that's better for everyone is that we all just stop buying mountains and mountains of absolutely useless plastic and digital crap.

Sure we need lots of human labour to keep the world going round, but dealing with the obscenity of consumerism is where a better world begins.

These are the results [0], a kind of misery and 'poverty' (an 'affluenza') caused by unchecked material indulgence.

Surely we can address this culturally on the demand side?
