These are for popping tires. No matter how they are dropped they always have a blade facing upwards. Cops use these when they need to blow the tires out of a moving car. You just drop a bunch of them on the road in front of a moving vehicle.
There are so many things wrong with the calculations on this. First of all he said the bottles were made in China and shipped to Fiji. The bottles are actually made there in Fiji and are made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) which is recyclable. The amount of water that goes into making a PET type bottle according to this is 26 liters for a single liter this is also incorrect. Water used in PET manufacturing process is recycled in a closed system and only loses a small amount to evaporation. The assumption about how much water is used to produce electricity is also incorrect. According to the Fiji Electricity Authority the majority of electricity generated in Fiji is created at the Nadarivatu hydro electric plants as well as at the Butoni wind farms. Neither of these have more than a nominal usage of "wasted water" as inferred by the article. Also the carbon emissions are off because they too assumed the wrong type of electricity production.
In a nut shell this whole article is complete "bunk" because no actual research was done. Only assumptions.
I hope the rest of the airlines don't start banning laptops because of this. Quantas, Korean, and Virgin already placed restrictions on certain laptops.
