I'm going to start compiling a list of stories to reply with when people say "environmental activists are too preachy/emotional about their work" and the Ford motor company manufacturing seats, seat belts, and windows, shipping them in vans to get out of a few thousand dollars in taxes per vehicle, and then shredding those things without them seeing a single ass in their entire existence after removing them from the vehicles for "recycling" is a great first item.
This legit made me ill and the people responsible for it, the people who permitted it, and the executives who oversaw it should all be in prison.
Yes me too. It's the first thing I thought of. The "and recycled" part is clearly an afterthought/greenwashing of this horrible practice. It's important to realise too that even when fully recycling a product) and it's very doubtful to be the case here) its definitely not zero impact on the environment.
These seats could have been sold as spares, conversion kits, even put into other new cars.
I think this behaviour should be criminalised and I'm not taking about the tax evasion.
