Europe Wants a ‘Right to Repair’ Smartphones and Gadgets

You seem uninformed about multiple EU initiatives, we've been deploying reneables, cleaning up the grid, etc. Our car emissions standards are much stricter than US/China/Russia. Unlike in the US, exporting plastic to the third world is actually illegal. And plastic is a distinct and separate problem to CO2.

Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gacGuWjqKco&t=579s

You could still argue they are not doing enough, but at least some credit is due.

I'm uninformed about the place were I live? I don't know what I smell every day, going to and back to work? You have quite some nerve ;)

Let me tell you some stories about illegal stuff.

A few days ago you could smell chemicals in the air every morning. In the middle of the city. There was a big scandal and they said UK exported their shit here. European style. Nothing really came off of it.

Money talks.

I do not mean to offend, but if you could be more specific about what is it that you deem wrong, we could have a more fruitful conversation.
