Who has more responsibility for the environment? Big Business or the consumer? I feel Big Business/Manufacturers should take more responsibility for what happens in the end to their dead products by figuring out a way consumers can get rid of them at the end of their useful life. I feel Manufacturers need to cut down on packaging so we have less to %26quot;recycle.%26quot;

Manufacturers could impact this on a much larger scale than the average consumer, in my opinion.

do you know how difficult it is to find a way to get rid of electronics? it should not be that difficult to get rid of them properly if they%26#039;re so abundant to purchase. Same goes for batteries, etc.

the things my household recycles are enough to fill a large, wheeled trashcan each week. Add to this all old electronics, batteries, things you cannot put in the general recycle bin, and you see how overwhelming it is for the general consumer. There needs to be a better way to do this that does not rely on Joe Average. Responsibility should be at both ends, the makers and the users.

• I think its 50/50. If people don%26#039;t consume so much manufacturers won%26#039;t make so much. I agree that manufacturers need to cut down on packaging but they also need to stop making thing like CD players that always break at about 18 months two years.
