You people are idiots. All he's trying to tell you is not to put dangerous materials into the environment. It's people like you that are killing our wildlife and making it harder for us to live. BEFORE I GET FLAMED. I AM A LIBERAL. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING. I AM HOWEVER, AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.

The best way to recycle used computers is to throw them off the roof of a really tall building.

About as helpful as posting a link to a site, only the site isn't listed in the description. I was hoping he would have some creative uses for old computers and monitors

@royme55 - I'm not suggesting we dump our garbage everywhere. I have 1st hand exp. with chemically polluted water-table. My point about perpetuating the problem refers to how industry thinks (not I) because Industry only considers profit, and not lives. Be it cancer research scam, or Emission Trading Scam or a host of other Industry & Govt.. Sponsored scams. Though it is true that everything (given enough time) is recyclable. The whole planet grows in thickness by approx 3 ft every 1000 years

Its nonsense to do a video on how to recycle your computer that only tells you to go to a random website to find out how to do it... dude.
