Bought any new electronics recently? People are often stumped when it comes to what to do with their old devices. Of course it's great if you can pass something along to a friend (in need, a friend indeed), but that's not always an option. Popular Mechanics has been running a series called Know Your Footprint where they give a lot of info and tips on conservation and recycling. Since eWaste is becoming a big problem, consider donating your old desktop or notebook computer, printer, peripherals and software. If you're in any of the 50 States or Canada, all you have to do is follow the steps shown in the image to the left, and to do that, click on this link:Link to cristina.org
Of course, you're not limited to this single organization. The US EPA, for starters, lists nearly two dozen partners in their eCycling program. Many times all you have to do is take eWaste to a retailer, such as used ink cartridges to Office Depot and just about any electronic item (except televisions) to Staples. Check out more of the EPA eCycling partners HERE.
Lastly, this Thursday - November 15th - is America Recycles Day so give some thought not only to recycle on that day, but to buy recycled content products if you go shopping.
