Did anyone see the report comparing coal to e-waste? Coal had over 100x more
lead, arsnic, plutonium etc. etc. in it and its burned off by the tonne
every few seconds. And whats with wanting lead free electronics? 1 car lead
battery contains about a 10,000 times more lead than a computer, and they
actually land fill them also.

What do all you greenies Expect!
You recycle your milk containers, but throw your Old VCRs, DVDS, TVs into
the Bin!!
WHY???
Because its cheaper to buy a new model than get the old one fixed!
WHY???
Because all these 3rd world countries have people working for less than a $1
an hour.
AND
because we Aussie people are not going to work for that tiring to fix your
cheap imports...
So what happens ..
More Crap becomes Landfill...
More Carbon emissions, Ozone depletions and all that "END OF WORLD CRAP"
gets more and more Publicity, but you don't care, because you use the
Recycle Bin for you Milk cartons, but buy more and more IMPORTS.....

for the crap. We only look at the price tag. As a result, manufacturers are
making things as cheap as possible to stay in competition. Needless to say,
they have to cut corners and quality suffers.
I am getting units in for repair that are 1-2 weeks old! (under warranty).
When 69cm CRT TVs used to cost $1500, manufacturers could afford quality.
And people would keep their units for years.
As for cheap labour -- in electronics lots of the stuff is built my
machines. While there is a labour component, I do not think it contributes
much to the cost.

Hmmm...lets see now... average 1 x 2 litre milk carton per week... 5 x 52 = 260 cartons.
Hmmm.....that's an awful lot of paper....AND more energy is used for recycling the cartons...
And we don't have squids (kids)...
BTW, we had our recycle bin emptied last Thursday, and it was just about full

And the amount we've spent on wine in those 5 years.....oh...sheet......
