the curse of typing not wordprocessing... hit the enter key to go to the next line.... NOT!!!!!

anyhow, as I would have said so elequently before... as long as industry & business can pass on the costs to the consumer... and ultimately society as a whole... they will do so. Create some enormous package for a tiny SD card... so it can put out on display & harder to steal... instead of having them behind a counter & pay a minimum wage sales clerk to handle. If you have to do that to sell cigarettes, then do for other high price small items.

or how about using solar batteries to keep power to your electronic gear... you know, that little red light that sips power so you can use all those stupid remotes that come with everything.

or my real peeve... you have a stove that has a piezoelectric ignitor, but needs to be pluged in to work... WTF??? the bloody things were first designed to be used on portable camp stoves that were off the grid!!! OMG ... is it so hard to turn on the gas & push in the ignitor button??!

we could have a whole thread dedicated to simple sustainable ways to do things...
