I am restraining myself from mocking this idea of pollution from discarded smart rings. It takes some effort, but I'm being very mature and saying nothing.

You are not restraining yourself from mocking, you are somehow doing something even less conducive and more annoying

I did my best! You should reinforce this attempt at self-restraint!

What is there to mock? Making ten smart rings because each one is consumable sounds worse for the environment than making one that has a simple charging circuit?

Well, it would have gone something like this, what I would have said: smart rings everywhere, littering the streets! Landfill sites, crammed full with smart rings! Towering trash heaps of smart rings, unmanageably vast, on fire, falling on us in an avalanche of smart ring pollution, what will we do! This might sound ridiculous, but it all adds up. We have to be concerned about every little bit of waste, because our concern successfully prevents it, as can clearly be seen nowhere.

It is a small amount of resources yes but all these little bits add up too.

There's a reason that we're banning all types of disposable electronics including vapes.

So either these disposable smart rings are banned or they're not.
