>junk our technologies produce! Still, I feel that Gary makes a useful >point in suggesting that business should be fostered around a kind of >"disposal side" economics instead of "supply side" economics. That is, >if there is no way to recycle/re-use the left over components of a >product, then it should not be made in the first place. The best way to do this is to require that everyone who produces something be required to take back the waste that's generated when those products are used up. They are in the best position to know how to reuse or recycle them. >Here too i agree with Mitchell. Certainly oil companies have a lot of >work to do in improving their refinery techniques (e.g. removing selenium >from waste water!), but there is plenty of room for each and every one of >us to alleviate the problem by choosing public transportation or, even >better, living within walking/biking distance of our places of >business/academia. Isn't it simple? Everyone is responsible to do their part, whatever that may be (whatever they are capable of). Obviously, none of us can fix these problems alone.
