Re: A must watch
What do you have to say about unrecycleable computers every few years.. photoshop 4 and and now 5 and 6 8 CS1 CS2 .. everry year or so..you have to upgrade and let me tell you the change is so tiny that it is hardly needed... Is that not planned to make the consumer have to buy ...I used windows 98 until 2002 and was looked at funny.. it worked fine for me though.. had zero popups.. the the new windows came with a bug,, popups.. looked to me that it was deliberate.. so people will buy more software to solve the problem,, Not to mention the non stop advertisement.. the iphone will make you a better person?
1)first of all go read about RoHD and WEEE legislations. not only do the limit the amounts of lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium (hex) and PBD-polybrominated diphenyls , PBDE - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (which this expert refers to as BFRs) butthe list of controlled elements is increasing, prop65 in california is trying to do the same.
2) WEEE legislation makes companies responsible for recycling the materials. and fund recycling programs.
as far as changes in the computers, you have a choice not to upgrade, stay with what you have. an average home user does not really need to change their PC every year
dont fall for advertismenets, ads aree there because ppl react to them. dont buy into it, as they see consumer is the biggest decision maker.
yes we consume more than ever before but it si completely up to people to not buy washer and dryer or dishwasher or multiple TVs.
the statistics are there to show how much advertisement there is going on... and how much people are consuming now a days..compared to ever before//
yet again, the final power rests with people. u dont have to go buy something just because itis advertised. do you go buy everything? I dont..
This has least to do with the consumer.. it is all a huge plan.. this isnt even about desis.. this is about everyone.. and corporate hogs and FDA thats filling you with toxins day and night,,,
I did not say it was justa bout desis Ijust made a personal observation about the ppl who keep goign to the crappy dollar stores which are filled with things that are just horrible for you, many are counterfeit and dangerous. sop not only are they usually packed with lead but many items such as extension cords are not even safe because they dont meet safety requirements.
mac cosmetics aren't sold in the dollar store.. Mac donalds keep cutting away the amazon.. to raise their quarter pounders and faux bread.. its is the Average american that is the biggest victim, desis since they mostly eat their own cooked arent a victim as big of the snacks that are injected with stuff that makes you crave for more..
this is a serious problem for everyone,, and we all know it..
stop buying bmac cosmetics, stop eating at macdonalds.
I staywith my point, the change has to come from consumers, from people who buy goods and services. People should be willing to pay more for quality products.
also it is up to people to recycle, rather than throwing everything in garbage..
seriously how many peiople dispose their batteries properly?
how many people recycle what they can recycle?
how many people take their own bags to grocery store.
if you are going to hate corporations you have to hate consumers. they can not exist without each other..
its very easy to say oh corporations are bad, and move on. It takes more effort and is more impactful if every person starts making simple changes in their routines and purchasing behavior, and ask others to do the same.
