National PC Recycling Plan Proposed, Again
ThinSkin writes "Two U.S. Representatives have proposed a bill to resuscitate a national recycling program for electronic waste, following the successful launch of two state-run programs. The bill would create the National Computer Recycling Act, and if approved by Congress and signed into law, would tack on a $10 administrative fee to the sale price of computers and monitors to fund recycling efforts."
$10 more for a computer or monitor? Come on guys, thats beer money. Are you really going to let big brother raise your taxes to fund earth-friendly programs? As long as there is oil in our nature preserves, who cares!
In other news, the official layman's unit for measuring silicon is now beer bottles, joining football fields as the lay unit of length and football stadiums as the lay unit of volume.
