I bought my Oneplus Nord N100 about a year ago, and paid about $125.
Think it's great value for the money.

I do not take a lot of pictures, but the camera seems good enough.

I have field poppies, and apparently they contain a low level of opium.

I see no problem in mistakenly planting opium poppy as long as you expect it to be some regular garden variety.

In normal US fashion I guess.

Anyways, if they say they cannot recycle the plastic bottles, they already do over here.

The main goals of refunds are to take the bottles away from the regular waste-stream, avoid littering and possibly reuse them.

Here in Norway we have had refunds for a long time. In the time of glass bottles, it meant that they were reused. Now we have kinda gone full circle, and many bottles (like all from Coca Cola) are made from 100% recycled material.

It's basically about nudging the companies towards the goal of lowering waste.

It's weird that so many countries don't have a refund on the bottle.
