Bastiatian logic in Green

March 20, 2010 by

An AOL teaser links to an article that recognizes the unseen. Refreshing.

Oft-touted statistics on energy savings don’t take into account the resources required to manufacture new appliances. They don’t expand on the waste generated from packaging and the carbon footprint associated with transporting a shipment of 200-pound washing machines across the ocean, or the energy it takes to have used appliances hauled to recycling centers where refrigerants like Freon and chlorofluorocarbons must be removed and disposed of in an environmentally-responsible way before the metal is recycled.
