Sorry iam not giving up my muscle car (69 goat). Lol.

Throw in some morals, a little politics and a dash of religion and we are going no where fast! Hey I like a good argument sign me up.

I would agree, but, I look at our cousins the Brits and it seems that the people as a whole contribute more as individual's compared to the US. Iam just going by my personal observations. Recycling needs to be taught in the home at an early age.
It wasn't practiced my home as a child. And to be honest I didn't teach it to my kids when they were growing up. I wasn't home a lot, work kept me away a lot.

But I got the the grandkids trained! And they are like little srap/recycling police.
Drives their Mom's and Dad's crazy!!!! Lol

Umicore(Belgium), Boliden(Sweden), and Dowa(Japan) are the big circuit board smelters. There are others, but these are the ones most circuit boards end up going to.

Now that's putting the tail on the donkey! Thank You!

I so wanted to let this thread go but when I get notices poking at my views, it drags me back in. I applaud those that can see where I'm coming from and get a glimpse of my thought process. It makes things a heck of alot easier.

Firstly...

So you're saying you'd rather take a profit while it hurts the environment? That's messed up and you should seriously rethink how you do things. This is a 180 of providing for your family. We're talking about profits and the enviroment, not what it takes to put food on the table but you seem to confuse the two. It's been shown time and time again that your can make a profit, provide for your family, AND be kind to the environment. Why do you think New York and California's so hell-bent on laws and regulations.

You'd think we did live in a capitalist society down here and I'd explain why the US doesn't anymore another time. I was always told to never be afraid to stand up because I think differently.

Who are you to say I don't care about the environment.
If you can't take the heat then maybe you think before you post.

your posts in this thread speak for themselves.

No where in this thread or any other have I made any statement that could be construed as me not caring about the environment.
Lol man you are a real trip.
