Forum dedicated to increasing awareness of green living through beneficial dialogue.

With computer prices at an all time low, we've come to a point where computer hardware is disposable and it seems like everyone is interested in conservation and recycling these old computer parts. There does't seem to be enough recycling places to meet the demand and, thanks to the lead and glass in CRT monitors, they are very expensive to ship leaving them to collect dust in your closet or basement. Before you put your CRT or old PC on the curb look into some other alternatives. There are some amazing organizations out there working hard to reuse your old computer parts. Places like Free Geek in Portland take donated computer parts to create usable systems for people that would otherwise not be able to afford one. It's likely someone in your area is already doing something similar to Free Geek so.. Let's get the word out for these organizations and inform our members who (and where) they are in your area.
