Repair culture, thrifting, gift economies are hugely important to fighting the #climatecrisis. I've admittedly never been a shopper--I don't get the hit of pleasure with new stuff--but I *did* associate repair/thrift with poverty (my parents grew up very poor and stridently put that behind them as they rose to lower middle class), so I understand *all of this* is cultural programming. And we have to deprogram.
