A call for excessive consumption
You could read it that way, but that surely is not the intention. I think it’s good to buy things consciously and to give it some thought:
[*
- Do I really need this?
[LIST]
[*]if "yes": Which alternative is sustainable / healthy / fair...?
[*]if "no"
[LIST]
[*]Do I really want this = does it permanently contribute to my quality of life?
[LIST]
[*]if "yes": Which alternative is sustainable / healthy / fair...?
[*]if "no": don’t buy it
[/LIST
[*]Can I afford it?
[*]if "no": don’t buy it.
[*]If "yes": Compare the surcharge of the "best" alternative and don’t make cost the standard.
Apparently, such a stove with accessories contributes to ’s quality of life. And if already, then go all the way. Durable things are bought that will be in use for a long time (or the thoughts about it were wrong).
Certainly, at least in my decisions, a portion of cognitive dissonance often plays a role. That is already the case in itself when building a house.
