Step 1. Recognize that you can't stop the waste if you don't stop the consumption.
Step 2. Stop the desire to consume by killing ads.

Stop making "disposable" stuff that should be durable and reusable.
Stop making appliances out of plastic that break in 5 years, or with cheap components that the average person doesn't know how or have the ability to fix necessitating a electronic board replacement that costs 90% of a brand new unit.

It's not even the ads. How do we fill the emptiness that makes us
vulnerable, and creates a need to fill lives with distraction and
numbness.
Heroin addicts I'v known, the ones that lived and the ones that didn't, taught me a whole lot more about our current state of technology than I'd ever bargained for.

#25"A key element of risograph prints is the noise that you see all over them. They are covered with little dots of varying sizes." A bit of noise can often go a long way to make a design wholesome (e. g. [1]), but in this case I honestly find it over the top. It's too much and too much in your face.

The link you reference seems more like a faux paper texture? The OP ‘riso noise’ is over the top but it seems to be a new hype and tells me they have never seen a riso print in real life, nor worked with one. Riso machines/drivers have multiple print settings, “Screen Covered” (bitmap/halftone), “Grain Touch” (the noisy dither used here) and special solid modes for vector line/text iirc.
