Or, and this is radical, we could just stop buying cheap Chinese-made crap like inflatable Halloween decorations made from petroleum products and shipped across the sea using bunker oil.

Or, we could pass strong right-to-repair legislation and mandate 3-5 year warranties on electronics so that my 55-inch Samsung curved LED TV can be fixed when it dies at 2 years and one month old.

Or, even more radical, we could stop squeezing out consumer babies and training them in our wasteful ways.

But no, let's keep feeding the bloated consumers of America. Let the planet burn!

Hey take a look around in your room and find out where half of the things are made, and then reflect on who these consumers are you are talking about.

Most of items in my room are clothes, made in EU (at least that's what the labels say).

Buyers remorse?

Yes, I actually prefer consumer capitalism over a deliberate eugenic extermination of "consoomers".
