I have volunteered to give a Slug talk on:
"Reuse or Recycle Your Old Computer"
Computers and mobile devices become obsolete much quicker than other
consumer products, such as refrigerators and cars. Electronic equipment
can contain toxic and valuable materials which should not be simply put
into landfill. Before you buy a new computer, tablet or phone, look at
the options of what to do with the old one. Tom Worthington is author of
the free ebook "ICT Sustainability: Assessment and Strategies for a Low
Carbon Future": http://www.tomw.net.au/ict_sustainability/introduction.shtml
Tom teaches an on-line course in ICT sustainability which starts at the
Australian National University in mid-February:
