Surprised nobody commented on this slightly mangled quotation from "Dark side of the moon", originally said in a Welsh accent. Cool | :cool:

Oh well, no accounting for some folks tastes. Or maybe they just never heard it. Sigh | :sigh:

Most developed countries have a "green tax" on electronic devices.

What we need now if to have companies that makes electronics have a clear and demonstrible plan to recycle their products.

I'd rather be phishing!

Wish I could find the article I read a few years back but even electronic recycling programs are not always what they seem.

Long story short, company charges you to take your e-waste, tells you it will be recycled responsibly, loads them into shipping containers, dumps them in poor areas and then buy the scavenged raw materials for cheap. In the end they make profit on both sides of the process with no real 'recycling' going on at all. Mad | :mad:

It is recycling. They leave waste in a plant with organisms that live separating the raw materials, obtaining the materials back.

reminds me of another joke, "carbon tax"
(joke was so damn easy to get "carbon tax credits" the coal power stations wouldn't actually pay tax for next 20 years - which they could also mitigate [in advance] by throwing up a windmill or two, or even promising to maintain their distribution system to reduce loss due to old wiring etc.)

We already have these in Ontario, thank you very much. Well, the tax part at least. Whether anything actually gets recycled at all or not is a question best left to our prime minister.

1) So that's what a disruption in the force feels like...

2) I know that you should know better than to pronounce it so badly.

3) Käse, not Kase. Hände hoch, not Hande hoch.

Nope, all I get is "The Internet is a great place and free thanks the Ads Please disable ADBLOCK"

And when I get that kind of pleading, it's normally because the ads are inappropriate, overused, or unpleasant; or the content is rubbish. And no, I don't disable uBlock to find out ... sites like this one earn the right to be in a White List - my default position is "earn it, don't expect it".
