Do you have a New Year Resolution for 2011? If you are a US American resident, please, please, please urge your Congressman or Congresswoman to support HR (House Resolution) 6252 - the Congressional bill to ban export of e-waste to developing countries!

And the companies manufacturing the electronics need to stop putting toxins and heavy metals in the products.

Instead of bellyaching about what the American government should do about it, why don't you ask what I can do about it?!?
Here is a start. Use your computer for as long as possible. My Mac is 6 years old. My best friend uses a P3 from around 2001 and it's fine. When you NEED a new PC, give the old one to someone who can use it. Place an ad in the local paper giving it away or for the price of the ad. Some local poor family could really use it and it stays out of the dump that much longer.

This is the APOCALYPSE, as least it looks like it. Some Chinese guy was asked whether he wants to keep that stuff up. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "because the money's so good". BUT: he might not be aware he annihilates environment in no time which will affect FIVE UPCOMING GENERATIONS, that is, in the year 2100 maybe this is still able to feel. All these lakes of highly-toxic sludge and whatnot are produced by a generation which doesn't care a flying FUCK about upcoming ones.
