What about your heating? Give your total home energy consumption in
kWh over this recent three month winter period and I will do the same,
again. And while you are at it give your annual car mileage and fuel
consumption. Put up or shut up, hypocrite motorist!
Oh yes. How old are your computers and how do you dispose of your
computers, and the same goes for all the other blazing hypocrites in
this thread who tell me I should buy a new computer and dump my old
ones, especially 4x4er Steve Filth?
Quote SchNEWS 582, 30th March 2007.
"Is there such a thing as a 'fair trade' computer or iPod?
International attention has been focussed on the appalling labour
conditions required to produce our clothes and many brands now
boast their 'fair-trade' credentials. But the same scrutiny
doesn't apply to the many other types of manufactured goods which
are coming out of similarly dire sweatshops in east Asia.
Microsoft recently released its new 'operating system', Vista. It
will only run on the latest computers, prompting millions of
people to upgrade. This cycle of forced obsolescence caused by
'new generations' of technology is the engine that drives the
consumer electronics industry. Environmentally the cost is huge
with large scale mineral extraction using toxic and resource-heavy
processes during production - for products which are on average
used for three years before becoming 'e-waste', filling holes in
the ground with lead, cadmium, copper, gold, chromium, tin, zinc,
antimony, coltan, plastics and more. The West then ships some 50
million tonnes of 'e-waste' to dump in China each year."
