I'd had to be the people in some African nation, sadly, that's where the eco-waste goes, who have to deal with our waste.<br />Technology and advancement in society is great, however, it comes at a great cost. <br />There's no solution here. But an eco-tax? Isn't this anti-tree hugger?Angeline Schnarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431283987131981570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895407124479555371.post-9554389986440486542010-07-11T04:55:45.788-07:002010-07-11T04:55:45.788-07:00I didn't know about the eco tax until yesterda...I didn't know about the eco tax until yesterday (10th). Bought some batteries at Canadian Tire. The batteries cost $5.29. $1.80 appeared under it on the screen when the clerk rang me in. "What's THAT?" I asked, and said boy, "the HST is HUGE!" I presumed. No, that's the eco tax and you get taxed on THAT she said! Sure enough, the bill was now $7.09 and the HST was .92 cents. Now my $5.29 cost me $8.01. SHOCKING! Car batteries are going to cost a fortune now, for instance. Where do they get off TAXING THE TAX???!!! The $1 extra for gas is awful, didn't know about that either.RenoGrrlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895407124479555371.post-70729983501228020982010-07-08T22:59:47.270-07:002010-07-08T22:59:47.270-07:00I'd offer you a place here in America, but we ...I'd offer you a place here in America, but we are getting screwed too.

So if I buy 1 gallon of gas and it costs me $8.17 it really should be costing me $7.18. That really adds up.<br /><br />Cheers :-)<br />- Rainforest MommyCoconutPalmDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728897553022973463noreply@blogger.com
