Visitors to Berlin’s IFA consumer electronics fair seemed pretty indifferent to the environmental effects of their buying choices. Actually, quite a few showed more interest in big TV screens and hot brands, despite manufacturers’ efforts to woo them with green credentials.
Richard Lee, 35, responded with a shrug of the shoulders when asked if he preferred environmentally friendly products. “I prefer Japanese products,” he said, explaning that he works for an electronics manufacturer.
“We came to get new ideas,” he added, prying the back off an HDTV monitor in one of the exhibition stalls to peer at the inner components.
Richard probably doesn’t recycle either.
