From Jackie Ottman's newsletter:
By now most people have seen the following statistics for the U.S. (Robert U. Ayres Industrial Metabolism, pp. 26 in Technology and Environment, Ausubel, J. and H.E. Sladovich. Eds. Washington: National Academy Press):
* For every 100 lbs of product manufactured, 3,200 pounds of waste is created; and,
* Only 6% of the materials extracted each year from the Earth become durable goods; the other 94% is converted into waste within a few weeks or months.
Hmm. Maybe not so rosy.

Hence why people should quit buying new cars every freaking 3 years and instead maintain a vehicle they enjoy. It's cheaper, it's just as reliable since you know the car's service history, you avoid manufacturer defects and mistakes, and it's better for the earth. My current car has 241,000 miles and runs fantastic, burns no oil, gets over 33mpg, and drives like new, because I take care of it.
