E-Waste

We are a technological generation. That means that a big part of our planet uses computers, TV's, fax machines and other common electronic products. The fact is that many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. Unfortunately, not many people do that, and the problem is that there's some difficulty and cost in recycling used electronics.

The so known "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" should be used right there:

» Reduce your generation of e-waste through smart procurement and good maintenance.

» Reuse still functioning electronic equipment by donating or selling it to someone who can still use it. 

» Recycle those components that cannot be repaired. 

Electronic waste represents 2 percent of America's trash in landfills, but it equals 70 percent of overall toxic waste.

So next time you think about throwing an electronic product away, think twice. ;)
