    i’m not saying these should be excluded, but rather that the graph should somehow indicate these things

    for example, a person X in some country might be buying a 100 gram smarphone every year for ten years and change three gasoline cars in that period, which would result in a kilogram of e-waste, whereas a person Y in some different country could be using a single smartphone for this entire period and a single electric car in that period, which would result in a 2000.1 kilograms of e-waste

    this creates a false impression that a person X is less wasteful, i.e. this graph should be adjusted for the sources of e-waste
