Ontario government abolishes electronic handling fee for recycling end-of-life electronics

Few recent government acts can have been more reactionary than this in Ontario, at a time when our planet is drowning in waste materials and warming dangerously from their creation so TorontotheBetter simply refers you for information to www.recyclemyelectronics.ca and calls on you to express your feelings about this act to your local political representatives. Of course what recyclers must also do is reject the marketing and associated consumerism that promotes unnecessary acquisition of electronics, and all other materials, in the first place. There is a contradiction here that we must do our best to solve by resisting the voices that encourage wasteful purchasing even if they may also contribute to its safe final disposition.
