Save the Environment...Buy a Rolex? - Saul Griffith

Couldn't agree more.  Check out OIL SPILL ELIMINATOR on You Tube

I have a Rolex, one watch, forever, I have a Waterman pen, one, for life ...... you buy cheap and you buy twice, quality is the way forward ......

I think its a new idea and could be a valuable one if we dont write it off so early

[truthadvocate]

If people used the same phone all their life, half the country would still be using a rotary dial, spending 10 times longer dialing, waiting 100 times longer to speak to somebody just to get transferred to the right department. What would that do to our economy? How much less productive would we be, and as a result how many fewer jobs would there be? Global warming activists always ordering businesses around. Invent a phone that lasts a lifetime? We already have one... a tin can with string!

[ejswe]

Production is not bad per se, in fact id say its a good thing. The bad thing is when you get pollution as a biproduct, but is that really necessary? Power could be renewably generated, harmful chemicals could be circulated in closed loops or avoided altogether.

People could and should be made responsible for making sure their litter is taken care of properly.

We cant stop producing things, we need advancement of technology.

How many pens have you lost in a lifetime?

How many people are willing to kill you for a rolex?

[watzupdawg]

How many people wear a watch and write ?

[yeahdude7]

@malkemusatube I've lost tons of pens in my lifetime.

[gqsmoothie]

If a company made a cell phone that lasted a lifetime they'd go out of business. People think they need a new phone every 6 months rather or not it still works.

[phippsed]

Most people I know abandon their cell phones long before they stop working. Most of the time they just want one of the newer phone because the have cooler features and supposedly work better. I think this reduces the inventive to make for companies to make phones really durable.
