I get what your saying and I agree with it. But could you stop with all the "holier then thou" and "your ignorant" bullshit. Please try to add a strain of maturity and make youtube a little more bearable for those of use who apperciate the art of debate... thanks

America AND CHINA IS THE ORIGIN OF CRIME

Some of the "cool Video" this guy shows is perfectly recyclable glass tubes. You can go online and find that we DO recycle tubes such as are thrown out on the trash in China. And other images you see are not even ewaste. Just household trash. So this guy tries to blame US for poor Chinese practices. Then shows how stupid the chinese are and blames American consumers. You fellows need to get a grip on reality. Stop living in fantasy land.

Envirotalk you think your abuse will make people care? On the contrary. The more abusive you are the less credit your opinions carry. This guy on the video is nothing more than a communist shill. Nothing has been shipped to China that China did not want. These people have no rules for ewaste themselves. These people abuse themselves and this guy blames USA. You do not see people doing this crap in USA because we DO have laws against it. It is you who are deluded and misguided.

What is the diff btw regional trash and ewaste. Now you shift the blame on third world countries when the US itself has not lived up to its responsibility. I knew you would humor me with your ignorance. Whoever invested in your education should be SUED. Monkeys are far more articulate than the bunkum you keep typing on the internet. What a waste you are. You are an educational piece of disaster.

You are highly blessed with IGNORANCE. Are you telling me Denmark alone was the sole signatory to the MPPI? Do you know the MPPI was signed by different Member States in the US? If the US is not a strong supporter of the MPPI guidelines, why has the US delayed a drafting a singular guideline of its own on Electronic waste policy? Even in the UK, there is the IPR which has come into the law which is to supplement the WEEE, RoHS directive. Get a reality check john.

What is so complex with those two directives? RoHS is directed towards eliminating heavy metals usage for electronic products. Is the US failing to know that? Is that so complex to do? If you do not export to Europe, where do you export to? Can you confidently say, the US has a singular legislation that mandates all electronic producers to comply with? Even the US EPA will laugh at your ludicrous intelligence that you so much hold in high esteem. John MOOCH.

You did testing? ya i bet. I have yet to throw a used computer or cell phone in the trash. In fact I recycled two old computers. Or rather used one to fix up another one and upgraded it with xp and gave to my housekeeper. She and her six kids were very happy to finally have a home computer. I guess that was ignorant of me huh? and I sold the spare parts to a computer repairman. there was only one damaged part. It was a processor. What he did with it I have no idea. The frame went to scrap metal.
johnknoefler (August 11, 2008 at 9:58 am)
Also USA is not a strong supporter of the guidelines on MPPI since it is a flawed law. Denmark was actually trying to use the law to stop the scrapping of a ship in India that contained asbestos. But India has it's own rules on asbestos and has every right to scrap a ship. Denmark just wanted to force the owner into bankruptcy. So the law can be misapplied. It is supposed to be about cell phones remember? But then you don't seem too concerned with reality.

"The EU's WEEE & RoHS Directives are complex pieces of legislation. In publishing these web pages, the U.S. Department of Commerce aims to assist U.S. companies in selling electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) to Europe" your ignorance is staggering. WEEE is a european law. of course we don't have laws on it. We have our own laws jackass. You want me to outline WEEE here? There is no space and that is not my concern. I don't export to Europe so who is a jackass? YOU!
