Greetings EEVBees:
--Recycling, Feh! Here in Orange County Florida, the County mandated a one cent tax on all plastic milk jugs. Now the environmentally minded consumers put the jugs in the special plastic recycling bins. The bins are then collected by the special recycling trucks, and taken to the recycling center. The plastic milk jugs are then seperated out of the stream and then transported to the landfill and discarded. This at least triples the cost of discarding a plastic milk jug. It is kind of like digging a hole and then filling it up again, or using fuel, to grow corn, to make alcohol, which must be transported in trucks, for it cannot be put in pipelines, and then added to gasoline in order to "save fuel". This kind of "recycling" may not be effecient, but it does provide government jobs, for people who in the end, will by and large vote for the party that sponsored the one cent fee in the first place.
--I would love to own an Apple product, even if you cannot take them "apaaaht" As a financial necessity most of my equipment is rescued, recycled, refurbished, or repaired. This sort of thing is easier for PC users who can work from a list of ingredients, as opposed to Apple users who prefer to work from a menu.
