Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles

Nothing wrong with them doing this. I have issues with corporations and in some cases individuals promoting their degree of righteousness. Regarding climate, this has taken on the appearance of a secular religion and the mass suppression of those of differing views follows. Labeling someone a climate denier is the modern version of calling someone a heathen and violence then follows. Nobody wants plastic in water and food, nor contaminated air, nor lithium contaminated soil, but please act properly and stop grandstanding. I’m not directing this request of those posting here.  I’ll stipulate that Sony is environmentally righteous. Sorry, I just escaped from the intolerant state of California and have issues with using these topics for self promotion.

@vonhelmholtz Not sure I understand why you view this as self righteousness.  If they don’t tell us the buds are made of recycled plastic, how else are we to know?  Is there a way they could tell us this without being self righteous?

@soix

Why must you know?

Many products are recycled.

Every time you buy a car, you buy recycled.

A manufacturer can and some do use recycle symbols on products.

Why must you know?

@vonhelmholtz Why not know?  What’s the harm?  Does it hurt you in some way to know that these are made from recycled plastic?

We disagree, but I appreciate the discussion and suspect that I’m the odd duck out.  Enjoy your weekend as well as everyone here.  Back to the music.
