You're right, most people really don't understand what waste means.
California provides (requires ;) recycling for used oil filters, but I too let them drain for weeks (or months, if I'm lazy) to try and get all the oil possible out of them... which also gets recycled. Moving to cartridge filters not only saves couple-month-old metal, but it also saves cost in packaging and transportation. It's an entire "thing" that doesn't need to made, shipped, stored, and disposed of. I'm baffled that someone couldn't see the value of that. I don't have kids, I'm not saving this planet for my progeny, but jeez, the right thing to do is the right thing to do. If someone sold a cartridge-style remote filter that'd work on the c900, I'd sign up for it tomorrow! c900s are amongst they most annoying cars I've ever changed oil on! Reduce my trash and save time? Sign me up.
