The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

What do you think
Totally agree with you, i never use the vending machines, i bring a flask for hot drinks and if i want chocs/sweets then just go to the local sainsbury opposite our SO. I won't be ripped off by RM

Is this why RM profits are so high? Not because they are ripping off the elderly who have no internet but have to pay the increased stamp price, but because they are ripping off their staff.
