A more economically sustainable and politic
37、ally possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral(只有制造商才能解决这个问题。一个经济上更可持续、政治上更可行的解决方案是，鼓励硬件制造商使硬件的维修、再利用和回收变得有利可图，或者至少不影响成本)”可知，作者认为解决电子垃圾问题的关键在于硬件生产商，他们应该遵守可持续发展的原则，生产便于维修、可回收利用的电子产品。故选A。DIt
