> costs only a few minutes of their time. You are so casual about throwing away an irreplaceable resource. Like many conversations about the environment and taxation, many people seem happy to talk all day about how others can afford to pay and about how others should pay. Personally, I worry about how costly those defuse costs are overall. How often do we save uneconomic resources by wasting aggregate large amounts of resources. The tradeoffs seem to be rarely counted. Only one side of the ledger is looked at. In context Switzerland decided that all garbage is incinerated. Perhaps we should presume that Switzerland has done this because it is the most enviromentally friendly and least wasteful measure.
