It has done the same for me as well. That's why I think when we conceive of a circular economy, it should be around needed goods like food and shelter.
Yes, we've become more conscious buyers. Great. But we still gotta eat. That's why I love initiatives like nostr:npub12pl4h7pk0svg8ug4mhu7a90hn6nf83eqadd94pccgsafn73s392qpt42wq where you can buy (healthy) food with sats instead of buying unhealthy foods with fiat. Those are the kinds of projects that are needed to help kick start circular economies in real life.
