And sure, you'll tell me that the old reader will get passed down. But that's just one step in the process and our demand just causes more of these gadgets to be made, for reasons of questionable importance.
I hope the pedestal I'm standing on right now isn't too tall :P

ciao Faforza,
I did not know nothing about ewaste, could you send me a link?Sometime ago I was asking to my self this question, about the stocks of PC unsold, so I suggested to asus to do a PC with old hardware, less expensive with linux.
Really would like to know more about the sutainability of hi tech, because I think but probably I am wrong, that throwing away 1 refrigerator could pollute more considering that as dimension is just equivalent to more than thousand readers. Probably I am wrong because of the real technical part are limited in tv, washing machines etc. can be doable recycling for this kind of things? thank you to share your thoughts about that anyway.As reader I feel responsible for what I produce
