We don’t have enough people that take things like furniture, technology, etc and prepare them for reuse so that we don’t have a super-accumulation of waste…and if this is the thanks they get, not to mention the public perception of pack rats or “dumpster-divers”, it’s small wonder that we have as many as we do.

We need to change the focus of our consumer-driven economy from production to post-production and reuse. We as a society are creating a debt against posterity and the planet that our next generations may find hard to pay.

It reminds me of the theory in Quantum physics that says you can’t measure a subatomic particle because by the time you’ve located it, it’s moved to a different location, possibly because of your own measurement functions. Maybe the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is the same thing.
