No life?
This is an rediculous exaguration imho of tackling the issue of consumerism. You don't do away with the sort of materialism that is usefull for humanity, rather you disincentivise conspicious consumption, miimise resource waste in advertisement and push for higher product stadards.
I got a tablet, a laptop, a desktop, a small smartphone and a bigger smartphone. the phones, tablet and desktop are all more than 8 years old, in fine condition and performing as needed. I do not change electronics purely for fashion and thats one of the most crucial distinctions in the story of consumerism. We don't need to take away functionality from humans nessecarily to reduce waste, we need to disincentivise the highly inpactfull culture of throwing functional things away just for fashion. We need to make our products more durable and exhaust their use as long as they can provide it, rather than incentivise a culture of throwing away which has been pushed in the past by advertisement.
We will certaintly still need nuclear and it's pragmaticly part of "green sollutions". Pitty that Nuclear currently doesn't evolve as fast as other alternative technoligy's like Solar and Wind, even with a breaktrough in fusion now i guess it would take years if not decades to build it up to meaningfull output. One can expect that nuclear will have a fair market share besides wind and solar when moved to green energy, with solar graduatly gaining territory i think as technoligy evolves.
I have to agree with the consumerism argument and certainly companies are making products that are actually designed to fail or be replaced, obviously for money.
This is where they need to be incentivised and encouraged though. Why not for example reduce VAT or taxes on items that have an established product recycling program? Apple for example offer this and you can trade in your phone to be suitably recycled for a discount on a new one. Diesel scrappage is another.
The issue with the green lobby is all they want to do is punish companies through tax and regulation and that is not going to work because ultimately it is customers and people that suffer.
