    Always think it's a bit sad the number of people who simply don't give a toss about what they're throwing out the chimney for the neighbours and their kids to breathe in.

    The difference being I can't personally do much about where my computer parts are manufactured. I can however show a bit of consideration for my neighbours and the rest of the planet by not burning crap that produces toxins in my own stove and my own chimney.
