Not my concern.

It should be. Not discarding things which have life left in them should be everybody's concrn,

Someone wanted to come in and pick over them just taking, very obviously, the ones they could sell.
I mentioned a couple of quid each to charity, and they vanished.
Not going to happen.

I gave a load of good ones to a neighbour's kids, and told them how to sell them, in groups, with low prices.
They're trying to get the max, one at a time, plus postage. FFS.
You can't help some people.

Well, look at it this way - even if they sell them all and and don't give a penny to charity, whoever buys them must want them, so they re going on to be used, rather than going on to be landfill.

It's why I give stuff away on freeycle - I don't much care if the person who takes something is then going to make money out of it in some way, I care more about reducing waste.

Your opinion. It doesn't make it true.

From your previous postings, I remember you as rather self important and a poor judge, about what everyone else "SHOULD" do, say, or think.

So you think it may not be true that re-using something is better than sending it to landfill.

OK.

From your previous postings, I remember you as rather self important and a poor judge, about what everyone else "SHOULD" do, say, or think.

I am not "self-important".

It's just that some people, through ignorance, selfishness or laziness want to deny the importance of things I think are important, but finding themselves unable to justify such denials resort to personal attacks on me.

I'm not, of course, saying that you are such a person, but to say that believing that waste and destruction should be minimised makes someone self-important beggars belief.

You not self important?! You could have fooled - everyone.
Stop telling others what to think ffs. You're pious but irrelevant.

" want to deny the importance of things I think are important" no, just telling you that The fact you think it's important, is nothing to anyone else.
So shove your opinion somewhere dark, like. I/we don't want to hear it, it's offensive.
This world is better off without people like you.
That is why you were kicked out of GD, no?

Now run along.

I am advocating a policy which I genuinely, and sincerely, believe is essential to the best interests of the planet.

Yes, I would like it if everybody thought the same.

Not because I think I am important, but because I think care for the environment is important.

" want to deny the importance of things I think are important" no, just telling you that The fact you think it's important, is nothing to anyone else.

I'm not asking people to care for the environment on the grounds that I think it's important, but because caring for the environment is important.

So shove your opinion somewhere dark, like. I/we don't want to hear it, it's offensive.

So reading something advocating caring for the environent is offensive to you? That's appalling.

This world is better off without people like you.

The world would be better off without people who think we should try to minimise damaging it? How does that work?

That is why you were kicked out of GD, no?

No, I was kicked out because of the favoured clique of people there who want it to be an echo-chamber where everyone just nods in agreement with bigotry, ignorance, and hatred, and who will not tolerate opposition to their views being posted.
