So you think we shouldn't build anything new, and that all old things should eventually be left to decay? Just making sure I understand you correctly.
I'm guessing they probably meant something among the lines of the four Rs: Reduce, reuse, recycle and repair.
I believe that it is about reducing the amount of waste, programmed and perceived obsolescence as well as making electronic devices easier to repair.
A fair point, although recycling only provides a fraction of the replacement needs of a population. Some things are only partially recyclable and other things are not recyclable at all, at least not without massive energy cost and industrial capacity.
