Designed to Last: Circular Tech Without Obsolescence

Date TBA

They just don’t make ‘em like they used to. When we buy something, we should expect it to last, but far too often what we buy is disposable. That’s because companies are selling us stuff that doesn’t hold up, can’t be fixed, can’t be upgraded, or relies on updates that stop too quickly. All this disposable stuff has us stuck in a loop of buy, use, toss, and buying again. Tech which is quickly obsolete drives the 500 lbs. of electronic waste we toss per second.
Learn how to end the cycle of buy, use, toss because we deserve better than a world where nothing’s built to last.
