My uncle ran a hardware store in Fresno for 30 years, and last week he told me why he quit
He said the last straw was watching people buy a new $15 plastic sprinkler every summer instead of a $9 metal one that lasts a decade, and he started doing the math in his head on how much plastic that adds up to across just his one store. Then he asked me how many of those things end up in a landfill before they even finish one season, and I honestly didn't have an answer. It made me rethink the whole idea of buying the cheap version of everything just to save a few bucks up front. Has anyone else changed how they buy stuff after a talk like this, and what was the item that did it for you?
