Just the opposite
In order to get the latest in energy saving gadgets, I must replace all of my perfectly good versions of the same thing. I need to replace all my appliances, light bulbs, cars, etc. I can wait to get even more efficient versions, but then I am wasting all that energy in the meantime.
To me, thrift is not having all the latest features, fashion, etc., but this enviromental crisis is urging me to spend to save.
