I see that Nathan has setup an Environmental Policy wiki page. I like this idea a lot and in regards to hardware it aims to keep hardware out of the landfill. Do we want to add to this a policy on purchasing new hardware? Something like RoHS compliance, while developed for european hardware sales, could be a step in the right direction. The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". http://www.rohs.gov.uk/
As far as donated hardware, I don't think the same rules would apply as we could be saving something from going to a landfill, but I could be wrong. Any ideas? -Shaun _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
