objects for a short-term period and

then

throw them away. It is obvious that there are root causes behind

phenomenon, and not using commodities for a long time may lead to devastating effects both on

and our environment. There are two main reasons why

products for longer periods. The first reason is consumption. Because there are many advertisements in which the companies persuade

to buy more, many

individuals
