阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

Dear Editor:

　　     Once upon a time (not so very long ago, either!) industrial goods　　 were made to last forever. If you bought a car or a stove, it was a　　 once-in-a-life time investment (投资). You paid good money for it, and　　 you took care of it. Today, industry has persuaded us that products　　 shouldn't last a long time. It's cheaper to throw them away than it is　　 to repair them. This has led directly to the "throw-away society" which　　 is a great waste of the earth's resources.

　　    Just think of the cars that are traded in daily, just because they　　 are out of fashion (流行式样). Think of the expensive packaging　　 material that is thrown away every time a new object is bought. And we　　 shoppers have to pay for that material! Our industrial society has　　 turned us into spoiled (宠坏的) children. This wastefulness has got us　　 into the trouble we are in now. When we have no resources left, then　　 we'll start to take care of what we have. But why can't we act before　　 this happens? Why can't we go back to being a society in which the　　 prevention of waste is a virtue?
