Good Point: Ethical Electronics, Recycling "e-Waste" Blog: Fiddling with Product Stewardship (as E-Waste Burns)
http://retroworks.blogspot.com/2015/07/product-stewardship-stop-fiddling-as-e.html
Fiddling with Product Stewardship (as E-Waste Burns). Product Takeback/ Stewardship advocates and laws have manufactured a System for recycling. Which requires maintenance and stewardship. The ship of Product Stewardship is seaworthy, but it's headed for an iceberg if the advocates are just focused on the next legal product and don't take responsibility for the takeback laws they already created. Check the List, Below, of TV recycling company closures and failures. Take a look out the window, my friends.

Q: Are Millions of Tons of Western "e-Waste" Dumped in Agbogblshie, Ghana? There is more and more e-waste in Africa. But the West (Europe and USA) are exporting fewer and fewer containers of used electronics. The implication is obvious. used electronics DID work for 5-15 years after they were imported - Africans are finally replacing TVs and computers they imported more than a decade ago. There is no big story here, other than the fake news was faked and Joe Benson is in jail because of it. How to fee...

Breakup of Europe's E-Waste Armada? EU WEEE Agenda Shift. Most of the illegal e-waste trade is taking place next door rather than far away in Africa, said Jaco Huisman of the United Nations University, scientific coordinator of the project that included police agency INTERPOL and other partners. Thats right. Europe finally got a clue this summer. It took awhile, but the Dennis Moore analogy holds. This redistribution of environmental costs was trickier than thought. How sweet the sound.

Good Point: Ethical Electronics, Recycling "e-Waste" Blog: Secrets of Intelligence
http://retroworks.blogspot.com/2015/08/secrets-of-intelligence.html
I have a lot of intelligence. As in, on stuff. Intelligence in use in the phrases "military intelligence" and "business intelligence". It's information. But it is actual intelligence as well, and when you have it, many people will mistake you for "being intelligent". Having is not being. So it's not about saving Joe Benson, it's about tagging the practice of false accusation. And that has to be done with intelligence. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Search Ethical E-Waste Blog.
