I have begun to think a lot more about how much better it is for the planet to just fix what you have versus build/buy a new one.
50 year old car, with an average owner buying a new car every 10 years (I’m being generous) then that is 5 cars to build, and all the waste that is created by building 5 cars and disposing of 5 cars. Not sure what the article says about being green, but I am starting to firmly believe that fixing what you have is much greener than buying anything new to replace it. |

You are spot on, maybe with the exception of the average owner. I don't think many own cars for 10 years. Especially when buying used. Our cars were also built with a lot less going into them in terms of plastic and precious metals, which is a plus. The counter argument for driving old cars is they pollute more and are less safe in a wreck. As I get older, I care less about both :-) |
