The whole 'emissions at point of manufacture and
disposal' does get
conveniently forgotten by the majority of people,
though. I think there's
what, nine years of landfill left in the UK - afte
r
which existing sites will
be full and the law prohibits opening of any new
ones. Yet there's virtually
nobody either trying to reuse the technology that
we
already have or making
new technology that's long-lived and easily
repairable.

Is that true? (about the landfills)
I'm sure the government have already thought
of ways around that. The 2 I can think of
right now are:
1) Amend the law
2) Export our rubbish and pay for it to be
landfilled in Europe!
Certainly where I work we do alot more
recycling now. We always used to recycle
paper (or atleast, they have in the 8 years
I have been with them), but we also recycle
glass and cardboard (we get lots of stuff in
boxes in every week).
I'm not entirely sure how you could recycle
a car, per se. Obviously some of the internal
stuff can be taken out and reused, but aren't
cars made of different metals or are they
(each model) all made from the same metal?

It should be noted that cars have been successfully recycled for...ever.
The percentage of material that is recovered from cars is way up in
the 99 percent region. It is now even higher than 10 years ago, with
the ability to recycle the plastics.
