Americans developed a tradition of waste due to a combination of factors, including the post-World War II economic boom, which led to increased consumerism and a culture of convenience. The availability of cheap goods and a disposable mindset encouraged the idea that products could be easily replaced rather than repaired. Additionally, aggressive marketing and advertising reinforced the notion that acquiring more possessions equated to success and happiness, further entrenching wasteful habits in everyday life.
