But a bale of burnt-out Christmas tree lights the size of a love seat? That weighs around 2200 pounds, according to Raymond Li, the general manager of Yong Chang Processing, a scrap metal processor in the southern Chinese town of Shijiao. He would know: on a recent Saturday morning I stood between him and three such bales, or 6600 pounds of Christmas tree lights that Americans had tossed into recycling bins, dropped off at the Salvation Army, or sold to a roving junk man. The huge volume was nothing unusual for Shijiao, the world capitol for recycling the old, unwanted Christmas tree lights that Americans throw away every year.

Climb Rocks. Mexican food. Data, NSA, Cyber security. It's now illegal to unlock your cell phone. This country really is owned by the corporations.
It’s sad, but this is a perfect example. American cell phone companies already charge us an obscene amount for often spotty service (I wrote a while back about my French cell phone plan that costs $25 a month and has unlimited calls and text, including free calls to the US from France). My iPhone plan here in the states – the “cheap” plan – costs me $93 a month. No, but that wasn’t enough for the greedy cell phone companies. Not only will they not unlock your phone (except under some circumstances, differs by carrier), but now it’s “illegal” for you to get it unlocked yourself. An unlocked phone is one that can work with any cell phone service (even that’s a bit more complicated, but that’s the essence of it).
The carriers argue that they can keep the phones locked because they’ve subsidized the “cheap” price of $200 to $300 for iphones. The Atlantic has more on this, but the implications are important.
