From the point of view of nature and ecology, it would be best if the purchase price of a new product included the cost of recycling of the materials and re-naturalization of the mines, capture of all the pollution from water, soil and atmosphere and reversing the impact of the manufacture of the product once it is no longer in use. That would discourage unnecessary purchases and make it possible to experience a healthy and safe living environment for future generations.
I write: You are right. And you are not the first one to think of this.
I am a wildlife biologist and ecologist of 47 years, specializing in habitat management (including the art of applying fire as a silvicultural tool.) and of course endangered species.
During my education, I'd developed an idilic sense of what the environment should be and probably would eventually be. I developed a belief that eventually man would "see the light" and include the cost of recycling in the original purchase price of any item.
I was certain that this would happen over time. It did not. It took me a long time to see the reason it did not. It did not because economics (*including and especially* greed!) always has taken precedence over our environment. However, I am not willing to say that it always will. Things are changing for the better. I believe we will save Planet Earth and I believe the world's top scientists have the expertise to reverse global warming )ok,,,,climate change for you hardcore right-wingers .
Very slowly, change is coming for the good. It will take a lot of failures but we will overcome it.
>. Recycling: After all, at least we are recycling right? Actually *we are not recycling*. At least 90% of plastics get buried, not recycled. It has all been Big Oil lies. See the NPR and NatGeo links below and then tell me you still believe we are recycling.
Something like 9+ billion tons of plastics have already been buried. I hope the same corporations will eventually be made to dig up all this plastic and incinerate it (I guess .
The responsibility of plastics has always belonged to the corporations. It should have been their cost from the beginning. They have shrewdly appealed to our sense of responsibility to the environment, convincing us that we can make a big difference by are recycling, while the whole time....... it is their responsibility. On top of that, they have been lying about recycling. It's all being buried.
