It's a shame there's no mention of RoHS in this discussion.

One thing I am really interested in, and have been unable to properly research is to the extent that ROHS affected electronics sold in non-EU countries such as the USA. I've read everything I can find in academic journals on this subject(next to nothing) and also online(pretty much nothing). This kind of article that interviews some individual attempting to solve a massive political problem as an individual or a consumer is so typical of the American ethos. It would appear the only opportunity Americans have to resolve such issues is to approach them as consumers, or in this case, criminals. Which ultimately leads to very little positive outcome.
