    when you allow manufacture of complicated devices
    with no imposition to force recycling much of what
    gets produced will be trashed.

    i've always thought that taxes should be imposed
    in direct proportion to the amount of the objects
    materials which do not get recycled and are not
    easily biodegradeable or usable as an energy source.

    this gives incentives to manufacturers to create
    devices which can be fixed or more easily recycled.

    cradle to grave thinking is critical. we should
    not be trashing/poisoning our planet the way we are.
