> but I wanted to crowdsource from this very smart community

Thanks for dropping by! I will warn you that HN is not a particularly good place to source nonprofit or philanthropic ideas (Case in point: Sam Altman). Maybe "smart community" is a matter of perspective, but a shocking majority of comments seem to reflect an attitude that encourages deregulation and abhors the concept of sustainability over consumption. I realize that this is a stern accusation, but we are talking about a forum that is largely centered around venture capital, here. Behind the thin layer of decorum is a variety of self-serving interests that can be difficult to line up.

Right to repair, e-waste management and the moderation of water and energy usage are all important topics that unfortunately conflict with the notion of free enterprise. If you get serious traction with this question, take the responses with a grain of salt. HN's motive to resolve these issues (as a community) is fickle and recalcitrant while it remains unprofitable to do so.
