I wonder when the stupid is going to realize that they're being played about being/going green and saving the environment. Pssssst the Western World powers don't actually give a fk about being green and saving the environment, they just use that to create excuses to eliminate your freedoms and your access to perfectly fine resources.
Similarly, I wonder when the stupid is going to realize that perfect is the enemy of good and something can be dirty and still be a marked improvement.

Does this identify the side effects / symptoms that leads to death? What is it about air pollution / quality that causes pre-mature deaths?
They're talking about batteries from phones and other consumer goods
Look up, "recycling scam".
Government doesn't care about these problems. They pretend to care because it is a tool for more control over the people. The people who are all about saving the environment are gonna make demands of the government, just like the government would want, and government will try to solve it in a way that only limits our freedom. Like Commiefornia, who plans to eliminate all vehicles who depends on crude oil for energy, whether its citizens like it or not.
