A Wiser Approach to Saving the Environment

Legitimate environmentalists say this all the time
This and try to keep/repair/maintain everything for as long as possible because the manufacturing of a product accounts for almost all of the energy/resources/pollution in its entire lifetime.

Of course liberal 'environmentalists' can't agree to that because it'd lead to a drastic loss of taxes. Better to keep pushing people to buy things then attempt to scare them into giving up liberties to compensate.... its almost as if it has nothing to do with the environment.. hmm...
