Yeah well I reckon when you can buy an electric kettle or iron for $10 , cordless drill in pack with 2 batteries for $20 and countless other examples there is something drastically wrong! When you look at that in my mind it has cost our earth much more in basic resources to produce , freight and market such products and is therefore unsustainable. I've got a sneaky suspicion it will all come back and bite us on the bottom(had to change the normal phrase!) , just when is the question!
