Experience
Designed to Last - Campaign Director
Oct 2022 — Present · Brooklyn, NY, US
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. Americans throw out 4.9 pounds of trash per person every day, nearly 1,800 pounds each year. We waste our money on replacing stuff while our landfills clog with “obsolete” products that should still work. Even if we wanted to, we can’t choose long-lasting products, upgrade old parts, or use things for as long as we want without paying for a never-ending subscription. My campaign is calling out companies that feed the cycle of disposability by making products that can’t be upgraded or stop software support too soon and passing laws so we can choose products designed to last.
