Re: Changing the throw away culture BBC News today.
In the UK, recycling centres do not allow the general public to buy any electrical items unless you have completed a Health and Safety Course and possess a licence to do so. I was told this licence costs in the region of a grand ! The law should be changed to allow adults to buy and repair items at their own risk. Existing health and safety laws do not help the environment and if changed could also generate additional income for local authorities, if not pocket money for the hard-working folk there.
