well the earth is my home, and i don't appreciate you trashing it. keep your garbage in your own house thanks.
global warming doesn't matter. your garbage is killing animals, polluting the ocean and poisoning our food. its a reality. you are responsible for your own garbage, not a landfill.

pacific garbage patch jack.

Wrong, I am not responsible for my garbage if I have paid someone to take it to a landfill for me. I am only responsible for putting it in cans that get hauled away. That is how it works, and how it has always worked. Only in the last 20 years has this envirowacko movement started preaching to everyone about how they throw out thier trash. None of it is worth listening too. Better keep brainwashing kids in the schools and on the TV if you want new recruits to the envirowacko movement. Your wasting your energy preaching to me. (Oh and you wont brainwash my kid, Ive already prepared him for all the nonesense that is being pushed on kids today) I wonder how much time treehuggers spend sorting trash, lol.

yes you are responsible for your own garbage. i think we need to rethink things.....just because its always been this way doesn't mean its the best way. is that really your logic?

i'm not worried about changing your mind.....you will become and are becoming the minority. people who don't evolve die off. not worried about your kid either, he's even more in the minority for his generation.

you almost seem pleased that you irritate people. like your ego get's some sort of high from rubbing it in that you purposely pollute the earth and get satisfaction out of destroying it. that's extremely dysfunctional and i'm sure you have many other 'beliefs' that reflect this. yuck. done replying to this.

I hate liberalism, and I hate the treehugger movement. Ill agree with you about one thing, your right I do enjoy irritating liberals. They are so touchy feely, so easily offendable I just cant help myself.

TVs and electronics contain mercury.

Dumping electronics into a landfill cause mercury to escape into the environment.

Mercury then washes into the fresh water system.

Fish in the water system are exposed to mercury.

I then eat the fish. My body is now absorbing the mercury and has no way of expelling it. That is scientific fact.

This has nothing to do with being a liberal, a tree hugger or environmentalist. This has to do with the fact that I would really like to limit the amount of mercury and other components getting into the d*** fish that I prefer to eat. Is that so hard?

Any ideas??

$50 dollars, youre kidding right?

I'd just would get rid of it. There are things you can't recycle, unless you want to clean out its guts and use it as a trashcan or storage bin.

Looks like the RICH greenies, think everyone can afford the 50 bucks. Well I couldnt, Id have to dump it into the nearest trash bin, and say Whatever!@

You can afford the several hundred dollars to update your tv, but not the $ needed to recycle the old one?

You would have to enjoy wasting money to pay anyone 50 dollars to recycle a TV. Much cheaper to just throw it out. I guess paying someone 50 dollars to recycle the TV might make some liberals feel all warm and fuzzy since they obvioulsy care about the enviroment. lol The funniest part about the whole thing is the fact that some of these companies that advertise the fact that they dispose of these things properly simply put them in landfills as anyhow. The tree hugger thinks they have done the "enviromentally correct" thing to do and they have "saved the planet" by recycling, but in reallity the unwanted item ends up in a landfill anyway. I save money and throw it in the trash.

Why do liberals think everyone has money. This is why liberals have lost their minds, the limousines who think everyone has 50 bucks in ready cash laying around. Yeah the so called companies can rip off the fuzzy headed this way.

I have NEVER bought a new TV in my life.

I buy them used [20 bucks] or inherit them used.

Consumer beware of where your money is being spent. As I've stated before, my father's company does recycling. This includes breaking the units down to the components, any boards with gold that can be retracted out goes in one direction, plastic in another direction, etc.

Again, it has nothing to do with being liberal. It has everything to do with being aware of how the contents affect the human population. See previous post.
