To
make CDs,
you've got all those materials. All that stuff has to come from somewhere. There's a lot of plastic, there's the stuff inside... I don't remember what the inside is made out of. Does anybody know? |

Anyway,
the point is, you've got to get all those materials from somewhere,
and the true cost of those materials would reflect their ecological
footprint.

So
buying a lot of CDs would make my footprint bigger? |
 |
It takes energy to play them, too. |
|
Good
point.
The important thing is to realize that the true cost of things takes into account its ecological cost. It's not just the price you pay in the store. |

People
try to figure out ways
to make things cheaper, and if they do so at the expense of the environment, that's a cost you don't pay now, but everyone pays it later. |
