Planned Nonobsolescence

Planned non-obsolescence is the opposite of planned obsolescence. When you pour from a nearly empty milk carton with unusual reserve so as not to be the one who drank the last of the milk. When you push in your trash so it squeezes into the eight-gallon white liner with the faintest hint of a squint-eyed possibility that someone else might possibly squeeze in just one more thing after you, so you are not that one who didn't bother to help clear out our toxic trash and replace the liner for all of us. When you don't prepare a will because you weren't planning to need one. When you continue to take one more possibly last breath despite having considered all the reasons not to bother.
