Government should discourage people from constantly buying more up date or fashionable products. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

In recent years, environmentalist have debated that, human is consuming natural resources (enormously) than they can be renewed. This was due to the increase of piece of economic pie from lower and middle class citizen where they are now more affordable to consume variety of product. The government want to reduce the harm by introducing a campaign on buying a long-lasting product. Personally, I slightly disagree to this statement. To begin with, economy of a country flourish when there is a sell and buy activities. By buying a long-lasting product, people will ignore a new product as the current one is still work. This will decreased the seller and manufactures profit thus affected the establishment workers. As a result, factories or business need to reduce operation and eliminate a number of of its workers. This ecosystem will harm the whole nation which the worst case scenario will be increasing of crime rate. Secondly, it is hard to produce a long-lasting product especially mechanical and electrical related products. Those devices always a certain lifespan. Manufactures cannot give a warranty that devices will continue to its quality for more than 5 years owing to the fact that of the nature of engineering itself. Above that a more advance product will be launched every year that consumers are likely to buy due to the fact they want to keep up to date. In conclusion, the campaign by the government is rather meaningless or cannot be fully implemented. They need to research more on this matter and find a better solution to it.
