I agree, and the further tragedy is that the Basel Action Network and related treaty respectively work against and make illegal the export of toxics to developing countries, but the US is the only developed country that won't sign the treaty. See: http://greenchemistry.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/problem-electronic-waste-recycling-basel-action-network-and-the-state-of-recycling-worldwide/ I'll certainly look at your site. I think it would be great if the bloggosphere could somehow move beyond the extremes of metaphorical (I hope it is metaphorical) "love or hate" and into the realm of real debate, but it is still pretty rare. It certainly also reflects the entrenched sides of the political scene in the USA. Nonetheless, it is always great to find a kindred spirit. Best wishes, Jim Kenneth: Thanks so much for your two thoughtful comments.

I often go there for I have the same sentiments when it comes to cO2 emissions and how to save up money using alternative, energy-saving methods.

Just see on how they try to hide their "Waste" by substituting it with "second hand 'goods'." There isn't any good in there!

That's not even taking into account all the waste that comes from manufacturing the stuff in the first place.
