It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

"..it looks like one major gear maker is finally taking the plunge to make motorcycle helmet recycling widely available—in Europe, at least.

The program is called Life Impacto. It's a new program that's funded in part by the European Union.

The only thing is, the helmets eligible for the Life Impacto recycling scheme can only have thermoplastic shells. No carbon fiber or other materials at this time, unfortunately.

You can find a full list of participating European Dainese store locations here."
