Proposed contemplations to make current modern cities normally more eco-friendly and sustainable

In this day and age of modern tech where everything, every single thing is getting fit into your pocket things like carbon emission, carbon footprint, E-waste, plastic accumulation do not have much importance in anyone’s life. Now, this is all because of successful marketing campaigns by companies. The amazing thing about tech is that its spectrum is not limited to computers or IT, scientists and engineers have been successful in spreading their happy pill in all domains of engineering and sectors of life (kudos to engineers on that). Now, this is not in the scope of the paper. The fact that no one on this planet can live without the tech-drugs companies have been supplying in loads to the masses should be shoved down the throat and digested. So instead of telling people to stop using tech or all those gizmos, an alternative solution needs to be found. People have been trying recycling and upcycling things for decades and being truthful to yourself everyone knows that is a fail experiment. Think of it how would you recycle your 1000$ iPhone or a laptop which was bought last year but is now dated which is also because of technological advances. So, instead of trying to restrict usage or refraining technology. It should be made ecological and economical (because no one uses herbal toothpaste just because it has green leaves on the packaging).
