the e-waste roundup

Electronic waste is one of our nations, and the worlds most pressing issues. The inside of my laptop that I am typing on right now is filled with all sorts of horrible materials that can cause immense harm if not disposed of correctly, I’d like to hope that when the time comes to get rid of this machine that it will be handled appropriately by those I entrust with it, and not inappropriately just to make a buck.

UPDATE: I got this message from @sowhatcanido on twitter.

“Choose socially-responsible e-cyclers (e-waste recyclers). Here’s how: http://tinyurl.com/5py8zq

In this message, they link you to The E-Stewards Initiative, which maintains a list of responsible e-cyclers, keep them in mind the next time you need to get rid of some of your old electronic goods.
