AA. Well if we can keep our way of life protected, if not somewhat modified, I expect that your $2500 will be money well spent. I believe European countries are doing roughly the same thing. The USA isn't yet. (What a surprise!) I watched a film called 'Bag It' during the week about plastics in the environment. It was amazing to see how US plastics manufacturers spent millions on lobbying law makers to preempt any restrictions on their trade. Don't wait for the good'ol USA to lead the world when there is a problem. (I'm not anti USA. Just stating how they are not leaders in some fields because of their fraught politics.) We all have to do our own bit. If that means losing a 'competitive edge' for a few moments, then so be it.
