The footprint of your electronics!

The footprint of your electronics!

Do you realise that your mobile phone, your dvd-player etc make a big part of your ecological footprint?
A typical young Briton - living 78 years - will throw away during his/her lifetime 150 small and large appliances - as vacuum cleaners, toasters, tv's, camcorders, etc, plus 35 computer and mobile machines, 12 washing machines, 10 refrigerators, and 6 microwave ovens...
Most of this is still going to landfills or incinerated, while recycling is very possible!

Go to www.weeeman.org to find out about your personal e-waste footprint, but - more important - to find out about possibilities to reduce your footprint; already some companies do recycle, some products use less energy. It is simple to reduce your personal e-footprint.
