New in New York Ep 10:eCycling
In New York City, it's very common to see old computers, monitors, keyboards, television sets, phones, and other discarded electronic equipment on the sidewalks. As the world becomes more and more aware of the importance of taking care of our planet, so too must we become aware of the dangers of dumping this kind of refuse into landfills. Old electronics should be recycled carefully and properly disposed of. Which is why it's great to see New Yorkers becoming more aware of the importance of eCycling, or recycling electronic goods. More and more often, organizations like the Mac Store in Brooklyn and eRevival are putting ecycling events together. This month, The Resident from http://www.theresident.net went to check out one of those in her native Brooklyn. Check it out!

GOOD: E-Waste PSA: High=tech Trash
If the transition from 386 to 486 resonates loudly in your heart strings, then you have some idea of how far we’ve come the past fifteen years or so. Of course, the seemingly exponential acceleration of tech improvements presents a fair share of problems--problems that extend beyond your feelings of inadequacy that can’t be quelled until you get your hands on the next big thing. Electronic Waste, or E-Waste, is cause for serious environmental concern. Every time someone makes a device run faster, smoother, or more efficiently, a whole line of products becomes obsolete. We, however, hope that once that happens, those items won’t become environmental burdens. From GOOD, with love, here’s a PSA explaining what you can do to help.
