Not at all, but we know the industrial prices, margins and all that: some products are unmarketable pcq too expensive.

So, when we know that the purchase prices of materials are negative prices ....


??? I do not think you understood what I meant.

Every euro you earn has an impact on the environment.

You will spend resources to go to work and earn your salary. Oil, kWh, CO2 ... to make it simple ...

We could call this the "gray wage" (not to be confused with black wage eh :D :D)

So if you buy a more expensive "green" product because it is cleaner (psychological and marketing overcharging which has nothing to do with a real manufacturing blow !!), well if you want to take stock of this overall purchase, you will have to take into account these "gray" costs of your salary ...

By bringing back to / Wc, you compare carrot and cucumber there ...

You should compare against the competition on THIS TYPE of product ... because apparently you do not know the price of flexible panels.

The advised price of this one is 139 € .... 129 € in promo ...

The installation cost is ridiculous ... I do not know ... 60 seconds? :D

Finally, it is a product made in Switzerland ...

So you're all wrong on this one, sorry dear elephant ... : Lol:

we would have things to pick up on what was done in the middle ages: nothing was thrown away, the waste of some became the raw material of others. I discovered this in an exhibition a while ago.
For example, the King's servants paid attention by opening his nuts to him, so that they could resell for themselves the shells still intact. Behind that, there were jobs and jobs. Some made small pieces of metal and turned the nut into a jewelry box. Falls of precious cloth dressed them. The outside was worked. And the box was resold very dear to wealthy people.
Let's be clear: I'm not talking about going back to that time, but to keep this idea of ​​using everything.

Yes, no need to come back so far (seller of walnut shells me finally! Well they are royal shells anyway eh!), Re-learn and apply a few "Grandma's methods"before the era of chemistry and energy in abundance for all would already be good ...

Obviously you know a lot of these methods :)

Odd that because the aquarium or food pipes are not supposed to stick to the hydrocarbon (I have experienced once ... when I was mobeux lol)

it softened with the heat, but it held up well.
A very hard winter, the husband hospitalized for fracture, and the titin (the dyane) which does not want to start. too cold. For 8 days I managed to start it anyway: little wool for the night on the engine, under the hood. Then heating with a hair dryer "at random" since I don't know anything about the engine. And titine departed valiantly!
at home the hair dryer is used for anything except to dry the hair ..... a distressed piaf to warm up: in a towel and soft hair dryer. it revives you the piaf

Not young, she had a lot of 150 000 km. peace to his soul in the land of titines. She damned us well!
Ditto for the furniture: you can throw them to burn them
or give them to find an 2th life
or retrieve the material to do other things.
