It’s possible to still track speed using a video feed instead. You just have to know the distance between two static points within the videos frame. Time naught = passes first static point, time final = passes second static point.

Velocity = distance / time

Although I’m not sure how or if this would impact the battery life of the device.

I’ll be the one dressed up as, acting like, and quoting Rodney Dangerfield from caddyshack.

My first thoughts as well. I’ve been using a cellulose sponge that has shredded coconut husks on one side of it for scrubbing. It’s pretty good, biodegradable, and doesn’t get soft when i need it to be hard.

I believe there are some fallacies in your statement that someone smarter than myself could probably point out.

Just as a thought experiment, let’s look at the following scenario. It is entirely possible that we are already paying for this as consumers. Most municipal services, such as waste management/recycling services, are subsidized by local governments to reduce costs for their residents. In addition, companies that donate clothes to other countries ( countries that really don’t need our clothes ) most likely would be non-profit companies. Their tax exempt status costs us more. Granted, this is all just hypothetical.

My assumption, because I trust my government for the most part, is that someone who has greater knowledge of these topics/costs, has calculated how much it actually costs the taxpayers. It is entirely possible that these textile manufacturers could inadvertently be subsidized by the government (your money).

This hypothesis could probably be further strengthened by examining the markup prices from clothing industry, since quality and price do not seem to be correlated in that industry, at least in my experience.

Expensive brands will probably continue to market to people with more money and budget target/walmart brands will do what they do best, and market to lower income consumers.
