Reply #18: This will also increase the amount of trash in landfills too! [View All]

If standards are made to discourage re-use of goods and reduce their life span of usefulness, that means more of them will wind up on landfills and of course corporations will love having to build more crap to replace them that people will buy new instead of reusing old stuff. Not only bad for us looking to get tax deductions, but an added cost to society and the environment that will suffer and become more costly to maintain.
