We all know that modern computers look so cool and clean on the outside, but what’s inside the monitors and towers is not so pretty. We are constantly upgrading our electronic equipment and computers to get the next best advancement in technology. The old devices are now as good as garbage. This garbage is referred to as “e-waste”. What do we do with the old computers that we no longer need? The first thing we shouldn’t do is throw them in the trash. The inside of computers contain, “lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium, polyvinyl chloride; all of which have known toxicological effects ranging from brain damage to kidney disease to mutations, cancers”, according to Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
Keeping this information in mind, we have provided our blog readers with a very useful recycling link which lets you sell your used working electronics to be recycled. Let’s all play a part in protecting the environment and the future of our beautiful planet by going green!
