Enjoy, Eileen **** WEEKLY GRIST 22 Nov 2001-28 Nov 2001 Environmental news from GRIST MAGAZINE 2. NOT JUST INTEL INSIDE Aging computers are fast becoming one of the nation's thorniest waste management problems, but U.S high-tech companies are lagging behind on recycling efforts. A report issued Monday by the Computer Take Back Coalition gave high environmental marks to Japanese companies such as Canon, Sony, Fujitsu, and Toshiba for recycling old machines, limiting use of hazardous materials in computer construction, and protecting workers from toxics. U.S. companies, however, fared poorly, with only IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Apple scoring in the top 10, while Dell, Gateway, and others received low marks. Computer monitors contain about four pounds of lead each, while other components contain mercury, cadmium, and other harmful substances. Given that 24 million computers became obsolete in 1999 alone, the e-toxics add up fast. straight to the source: San Jose Mercury News, Paul Rogers, 26 Nov 2001 do good: Take action and tell your computer manufacturer to recycle ----------------------------------------------------------------- Also in GRIST MAGAZINE this week: Eco-friendly fungi, whistle-blowers at Hanford -- and more environmental news of the week Your dentist's take on extracting oil and gas from the Arctic Refuge -- a cartoon by Suzy Becker A walk in the parque -- a day in the life of Gary Hughes, conservation researcher in Patagonia Do good -- help Momma Earth with Grist's featured action of the week -- ditch dirty diamonds ----------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe to WEEKLY GRIST, click here or send a blank email message to .

Companies such as Amerigas, Carolane, Piedmont Natural Gas, Southern States may be able to refurbish them. Also, check with the local Chamber of Commerce to see if they can point you in the direction of some companies that may be able to refurbish and use the tanks.

He kept setting it out for the trash collector to haul away, but the hauler wouldn't take it. After several weeks of seeing the can left behind, the man, stomped the can flat and set it out on trash day. When the hauler arrived, he took the garbage, but stomped the flat trash can roughly into useable shape and left it with the other empty cans. Oh, well...His heart was in the right place. OK, so I told you that so I can tell you this....................Our friend Gabi Kaiser is looking for a market for used-to-death trash carts. Here is her message. Hope you can help her. In Gabi's own words: Here is the situation: City of Durham, Department of Solid Waste has approximately 3.500 broken, old ... 90 gallon trash roll-out carts (brands are Polycarts, America carts, Zarn). I would like to see them recycled instead of dumped. BUT the only company that I found would only take them without the metal. That means hours and hours of work to dismantle the cans, take out the metal axes, screws and so forth. Any help or advice on the horizon?? Gabi STOP Waste Before it Starts. USE LESS STUFF.
