Today, I got an electric shaver hoping that it would reduce the risk of cutting myself than shaving with a manual one. However, I cut myself opening the plastic package with the shaver inside.

Patrick, you are 40 +, ask the same questions to a 12 year old and you'll receive the opposite. You are acustomed to reading on paper, and that is why you're views as such.

A child who has grown up reading 51% + of the time ona computer screen - you're going to get a different answer.

More then anything you're talk depicts human behavior - we don't like change!

I used 2recycle my plastics until I walked into a manufacturing co that is making cars. Ooh! Aaah! I'm walking with the group in my tour keeping my lips sealed. The cars are made from recycled plastics I would wash & rinse out doing my part to help the world? I rarely buy anything plastic & I do have a bit but it sits until I get it to a recycling station. Recycling is 2drive costs down but why do car costs go up? I used 2sit & stand on a sturdy car! Now? bendy trendy & 2skimp quality?

@intrascoobz oopsie! I inserted the word not when saying was allowed benefit a growing family instead is what I meant. However , NOT! to this man saying it is the emotional that reacts to the graphs shown here from which 2rely. Research & investigate the famous weeds in the fields that have been outlawed so that it looks like we don't have enough jobs for an overwhelming populations growing yet bigger! Think 2question technologies held back 2bring lush green back 2deserts. B a real futurist!

We have at least 5+ generations of those who have seen to our diversity in natural products be taken away. In driving demand towards that which can be patented! Nettles was outlawed in early 1900s. Nettles in the earlier days before france was infiltrated was not allowed benefit a growing family. Simple mathematics. You either go out & pick the weeds & learn how to process them & you can enter into a competitive edge within the marktet Durable products were word up. Patent think= stink tank!
