RoHS is a good thing. It stops people from becoming ill through eating electronic equipment.
It's not only that - RoHS is good for the enviroment and for you too. For example someone wants to dump his Trash80 but if he do it the proper way - he have to pay for the recycling. Instead he just dumps it somewhere in the nearby forest, while nobody is watching and forgets about it. Some months later most of the toxic metals from the Trash80 are drained to the soil by the rains. Some months later some tourist crosses nearby and see some fresh berries grown around. He eats them just to taste if they are good, thinking that pollution is not in the forest, without knowing that he consumes highly toxic metals absorbed from the soil. That's why RoHS is good. Recycle of old electronics is a big problem, since most of the people prefer to buy new stuff, instead of upgrading the old, and dumping all which they don't need, although the recycling costs are already paid when you buy the product.
