			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The  relationship between manufacturers of Consumer electronics and  environmentalists is similar to that between Consumer electronics and environmental. No matter how much the latter tries to convince the former, he  would not succeed.</div>
<div>
<p>The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in  Las Vegas this week threw many good surprises in the form of environment  friendly electronic products. Yet, the green brigade is still not  convinced that the industry is taking the environment any more seriously  than the way Israel takes UN resolutions. And even if the recession in  United States, which has had a domino effect in global economy, resulted  in less number of people visiting the CES this year, manufacturers like  Toshiba and LG have tried to put their greenest foot forward in the  show.<br />
<span id="more-136"></span> Japanese electronics manufacturer, Toshiba recently unveiled  its Super Charger battery during the show. Being long lasting, it is  being promoted as a product which would save energy, thereby bringing  down the need to produce more energy which would obviously result in  less CO2 getting dispersed in the atmosphere. The other product which  specifically designed to cut energy costs was the LG’s 32-inch TV.  According to the company, the new product would require 50 percent less  power than the conventional 32-inch LCD TV.</p>
<p>In addition to being  responsible for, either directly or indirectly releasing gases into the  atmosphere, consumer electronics are the major source of e-waste.  Hence, in order to address that problem, mobile phone manufacturer,  Motorola recently released its new cell phone made of plastic which  contains the plastic recovered by recycling water bottles.</p>
<p>The  disagreement between the industry and the green brigade is likely to  continue as long as the problems of environmental degradation and global  warming are seriously and fully addressed by both governments of the  world and business enterprises. However, the showcasing of various  environment friendly products in the Consumer Electronics Show this year  is a welcome surprise. One should hope that this trend continues and  consumer goods manufacturers come up with more such gadgets in future.</p>

<p>Electronic appliances are indeed very helpful at making our lives  and work easier. Everyday, technological advancements are made so that  our lives are easier and more pleasurable.</p>
<p><span id="more-130"></span></p>
<p>However this leads to  lots of pressure on the environment as perfectly serviceable electronic  goods are considered obsolete and are replaced using an advanced version  of the gadget. In such cases, what happens to the redundant electronic  appliance?</p>
<p>Effects on the environment</p>
<p>Though there are  various organizations that refurbish old computers and other electronic  goods, millions of these appliances are just thrashed out. In fact,  developed and advanced countries still produce large amounts of  electronic junk that land up in landfill sites or are finally  incinerated. The arising environmentally hazardous and dangerous  pollution chokes everyone&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>Most electronic goods have  plastic and chemicals that cannot be disposed like other bio-degradable  junk as they are environmentally dangerous. Once they are dumped in land  fills, they secrete toxic substances like arsenic, lead and mercury  that is absorbed by the ground. This leads to the contamination of  everything from soil to water bodies, which can have disastrous effects  on our future generations.</p>
<p>It is because of all this that  electronic waste recycling has become very important in industrialized  nations. With a planned strategy, electronic recycling can be safely  implemented.</p>
<p>Here are some tips for successful implementation of electronic recycling.</p>
<p>The  electronic appliance should be sold in working condition. There are  lots of people who are looking for low cost electrical appliances and  computers. By doing this, your appliance is reusable for a few more  years and you earn some money in exchange.</p>
<p>Some companies are  ready to exchange old computers for newer models. Some companies like  Dell also offer free return services as their contribution towards  electronic recycling.</p>
<p>Donate your electronic appliance to a  non-profit organization like an NGO as they may be useful in improving  the life and education of children in third world countries.</p>
<p>If  you have to get rid of your computer, take it to an established computer  recycling center for its proper recycling. However before doing this,  make sure to check if the computer can be repaired or upgraded.</p>
<p>With electronic recycling, you can do your bit in securing the environment for future generations.</p>

<p>Electronics recycling is complex. Since electronics are made up of a  variety of materials, including plastics and metals, they are more  complex to recycle then simple products like paper or glass. That does  not mean they are not worth the effort of recycling, though. Electronics  recycling is important and can be quite beneficial.</p>
<p><span id="more-126"></span></p>
<p><strong>What Can be Recycled</strong></p>
<p>Almost  everything electronic can be recycled in one way or another. It is rare  that an electronic product can not be recycled in some way. In fact,  almost 99 percent of an electronic product can be recycled. That means  only a small amount is actually waste going to a landfill.</p>
<p>Electronics  contain a variety of materials. The valuable metals, like copper and  gold, found in many electronic products is very useful in the creation  of new products. This is a major reason to help recycle electronics.  Metals are costly to produce and some are becoming rare to even find, so  recycling helps to ensure that less energy is waste din produced new  metals and that the reserves are not depleting as fast.</p>
<p><strong>Hazards of Electronic Waste</strong></p>
<p>There  are elements of electronic waste that makes it dangerous and harmful to  dispose of in the trash where it will then end up in a landfill. Such  things as mercury and lead used in electronic products is very harmful  to humans and the environment. When an electronic product ends up in a  landfill there is a risk that these materials will end up in the  environment.</p>
<p>Through recycling electronics, though, the risk is  eliminated. The recycling process properly disposes of the hazardous  materials.</p>
<p><strong>Methods of Recycling</strong></p>
<p>There are two main methods of recycling electronic products:</p>
<p>Recycling  Center &#8211; You can take your electronic products to a recycling center  that is open for electronic products. They will properly recycle ad  dispose of the electronic equipment. This is a good option when the  equipment is broken and no longer useable.</p>
<p>Reuse &#8211; Reusing  electronic products can be done when the product is still in good  working order or only needs minor repair. You can donate it to charity,  sell it or give it to someone in need.</p>
<p>No matter how you recycle  electronics, the bottom line is that you should recycle. It is better  for the environment and for you. Throwing out old electronics is harmful  and irresponsible. Recycling is not too difficult and something that  anyone can do.</p>

<p>Although there has been a recent growing awareness about the  importance of caring for our environment, most of our attention is  turned toward issues such as alternative fuel sources and global  warming. These topics are certainly important and do merit attention,  but there are other simple tasks that you can do on a regular basis that  will also help to keep our Earth better protected.  One of these tasks  is to participate in computer and electronics recycling programs.</p>
<p><span id="more-122"></span></p>
<p><strong>Why You Should Participate in Computer and Electronics Recycling Programs</strong></p>
<p>There  are many reasons for participating in computer and electronics  recycling programs.  We all know that, in general terms, recycling is  beneficial because it reuses materials rather than putting them in  landfills or incinerating them.  Recycling also reduces pollution and  helps save natural resources because materials do not have to be  developed from scratch.</p>
<p>When it comes to computer and electronics  recycling, however, there are even more benefits.  More specifically,  failing to recycle computer and electronics equipment unnecessarily  releases toxins into our environment.</p>
<p><strong>Looking at Some Frightening Facts</strong></p>
<p>Right  now, you may be using a computer to read this article.  But, do you  know that computers are the number one cause of electronic waste?  With  all of the different components and with the quick evolution of computer  technology, consumers are going through computers rapidly as they try  to keep up with the changes.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many consumers are  actually hanging on to their old electronic devices.  In fact, according  to the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, about 75% of electronics that  are now obsolete are actually being stored.  This means we will be  facing some major disposal issues when consumers finally decide to get  rid of these devices.</p>
<p><strong>Safely Disposing of Computers and Electronics</strong></p>
<p>When  it comes to computer and electronics recycling, you actually have many  options available to you.  This is partially because of growing  environmental concerns, but also because there are numerous laws  regarding recycling.  In fact, there are over 500 laws in the United  States regarding recycling!</p>
<p>Thankfully, you don&#8217;t have to know all  of the details of each of these laws.  All you really need to do is  find a company that specializes in computer and electronics recycling.   If you are a business owner, participating in a computer and electronics  recycling program is even more important because failure to properly  recycle can cost your business greatly.</p>
<p>Recycling batteries is  particularly important simply because we use so many of them and because  they contain so many toxic chemicals.  Luckily, it is easy to find  companies that will accept batteries for recycling.  In fact, many  retail stores will recycle batteries.  These include:</p>
<p>- Best Buy</p>
<p>- Circuit City</p>
<p>- Office Max</p>
<p>- Office Depot</p>
<p>- Radio Shack</p>
<p>Old  computers and computer equipment can also be recycled.  So, if your  equipment is so old that it is no longer useful or if it is so damaged  that it cannot be repaired, turn it into a recycling program.  With  these programs, the equipment will be dismantled and all of the useable  parts and materials will be removed.  Another option is to donate your  computer if it is still usable.</p>
<p>You can generally get computers recycled by handing them over to major manufacturers.  These include:</p>
<p>- Acer</p>
<p>- Apple</p>
<p>- Dell</p>
<p>- Epson</p>
<p>- Gateway</p>
<p>- Hewlett Packard</p>
<p>- IBM</p>
<p>- Lexmark</p>
<p>- NEC</p>
<p>Many  states and counties also have special government programs for computer  and electronics recycling.  You can contact your local waste management  company or local government officials to find out more about these types  of programs.  These government sponsored recycling programs may be free  or you may have to pay a fee in order to use the program.</p>
<p>By  taking advantage of these computer and electronics recycling programs,  you can prevent hazardous materials from leaking into the environment  and causing harm to our Earth.  In addition, you can rest easy in  knowing that you are properly following the laws that have been  established by your local government as well as by the State and Federal  government.  That makes computer and electronics recycling a win-win  situation for everyone involved!</p>
