More from Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson on some requirements of a Green New Deal, specifically around zero waste. Making things last longer; local collective ownership; producer responsibility.
The program should also require the elimination of the planned obsolescence built into the life cycle of all modern consumer products from cars to cell phones, a practice that both enriches corporations and drives the need to extract more resources and expend more fossil fuels to make more products.
