The Second-Hand First Law
Public offices must shop used before they shop new.

The Vision
Governments are the biggest furniture, vehicle and electronics buyers in most countries - and almost everything they buy is new. The Second-Hand First Law flips the default: every public purchase must first document that no refurbished option met the need. One procurement rule, and the used market gains its anchor customer.
