For example... on a recent week end getaway to cape town, i read in one of the airline magazines that an e-waste recylcing centre has finally been built in Cape Town in order to control the excess amount of e-waste that is being "disposed of" in the area.. So keep up the good work tracey d til we meet again... ;) X nice work miss daniel!very niiiice!am learning a lot from these blogs of yours…. didn’t even know about e-waste til i read this,and i must say – am paying more attention to the effects of mobile media.

I've been trying to get someone to steal it - no such luck. But your post has made me think twice. As usual Africa is being used to dump whatever more developed countries don't want. When will this abusive cycle stop? I guess Nokia is trying to improve the situation, but maybe they're trying to get rid of old cellphones so that consumers won't feel as guilty when purchasing a new one. Oh the beauty of capitalism... Sigh. I still carry my old brick. I’ve been trying to get someone to steal it – no such luck. But your post has made me think twice.

They’re huge on green computing and can use a single existing PC to power up to ten workstations at once. This is a huge way to help combat e-waste and bring outdated PCs back to life.
