Great Example of Positive Regulations: Charging In China

Share via Twitter Share via Facebook Share via Linkedin Share via Reddit

New ecobusiness tracker Greenbang has a classic today. Apparently the Chinese government is mandating that all cell phone and device chargers are USB-based, to “cut waste and lower user costs”. I like this idea a lot. I am currently moving office, and the charger detritus is truly ridiculous. I know some people think all top down regulation is a bad idea, but this one makes a great deal of sense, especially from an environmental perspective.
