Though it is a revolutionary -- and at the same time entirely feasible -- means of greatly reducing negative environmental effects of corporate manufacturing practices, the topic of extended producer responsibility (EPR) has not been touched by the U.S. media. Big business would heartily oppose EPR, since the only way it would work is through government regulation. Some environmental organizations are promoting the idea. The Environmental Defense Fund has information on EPR at: www.environmentaldefense.org/programs/PPA/vic/epr.html.
