e-waste documentary
eDump is a documentary by Michael Zhao about the problem with electronic waste. It follows America's 2.6 million tons of annual e-waste as it travels to foreign countries for recycling and the pollution and health problems it causes along the way. This powerful short film can be watched in its entirety on Zhao's site HERE. Find out more about e-waste HERE.

100 % Eco Friendly recycling
In this world we have become as humans consumers. We consume every thing.
The problem arises when we forget that what we consume, then throw away, not all of our waste gets properly disposed of.
Not seen, not thought of right?
When our electrical items fail we just throw them away not thinking of where they go.
Here is how you can insure that when you discard your items, your items do not land up in a land fill, or over seas just to pollute a more poverty stricken area:
Make sure that your recycler only uses a complete Eco friendly down stream for the materials being recycled.
This means that when you discard a TV or old computer it only goes to processes that will be completely Eco and human friendly.
Recycling should not be at the cost of our environment or the cost of human rights and safety.
We as a company could make hundreds more on these materials we collect for free, if we just turn our heads and say, not seen not thought of.
We feel that if we can prove that recycling can be done in the cleanest safest way possible so that our environment, and the people who live in it, are not injured in the process, we might just show that recycling can be a culture not a cost.
If we as recyclers do not take this philosophy, then we our selves will pose an environmental risk instead of a solution.
Some times a little less profit can still benefit everyone in the process.
Recycle please, but do it completely Eco friendly.
Besides that.............profit will not matter after a while.......we will end up polluting our selves out of a planet in the long run if we do not start practicing this soon.
Thank you
