Imitation, the most sincere form of flattery!
Basel Action Network announced hours ago that they have kicked off their own "e-Waste blog". I'm happy to link to it, and hope it will help their blog rise in the google and bing rankings. In the linked post, they are of course trying to paint over the data now coming out of Ghana, using weasel words to obfuscate the major study showing 85% of Ghana used electronics imports are legit... No new info here, just trying to drown out news of the actual data with noisy angst. Pay no attention to the data behind the curtain.
Still, BAN's welcome in the blogosphere. I'm completely supportive of debate, dialogue, dialectic, and reasoning. I've never censored BAN's commentary on this blog, and why I invite them to comment here.
Anyway, fun is fun. Below is my inaugural comment on BAN's blog, just left. It's waiting moderation. I hope they allow it! It's about Functionality and the Annex IX of the Basel Convention, which says that export for repair and refurbishment is legal (and doesn't say "tested working" anywhere).
