The love of a child is always special and they develop great
friendships that lasts for years. This audio book will encourage them
to continue caring and sharing as they grow.
It is a new addition to the Eco Kids Book Project you have been
supporting over the years by watching YouTube videos, reading articles
and books, playing eco games, doing social media sharing and placing orders
on Amazon, Gumroad, Bookfusion and Smashwords.
[…] More Home Appliances Could get a Longer Life — FunWritings […]
The way I understand it, is that appliances and heating equipment are designed to last 7-8 years, so we will buy more often. We have fixed our 8 year old microwave twice and hope to keep it going longer. Hope all is well Denise. Allan
designed to last 7-8 years… wow I wish the parts that are worn out could be replaced or the manufacturers could do more for the environment by collecting the old appliances to recycle them so they won’t end up in the landfills. Allan I hope things will change
More home appliances could get a longer life means there is no idea to change in midway. It is sustainable. Thank you 😊
Welcome……. more jobs could be created and we would have less waste and maybe less criminals too? I am thinking about it. Thanks for checking out the post
You are welcome!
The trend, over the last 20 years or so, has been “planned obsolescence,” requiring upgrades or trade-ins every 3 to 5 years, for most items.
As kagould17 pointed out, above, even appliances are only designed to last about 7 years (hence the typical 5 year warranty), and until consumers begin to demand a different set of options, that is what we will get.
Thank you so much Shira, I thought about this and the manufacturers don’t seem to care about the environment and our health
No, but they do not exist for care about such things: they exist to make money, so society must put laws in place that direct that energy and use of resources to benefit all of us, rather that just some of us.
