E-Waste PSA: High-tech Trash
The Damaging Export of Electronic Waste
If the transition from 386 to 486 resonates loudly in your heart strings, then you have some idea of how far we’ve come the past fifteen years or so. Of course, the seemingly exponential acceleration of tech improvements presents a fair share of problems--problems that extend beyond your feelings of inadequacy that can’t be quelled until you get your hands on the next big thing. Electronic Waste, or E-Waste, is cause for serious environmental concern. Every time someone makes a device run faster, smoother, or more efficiently, a whole line of products becomes obsolete. We, however, hope that once that happens, those items won’t become environmental burdens.
From GOOD, with love, here’s a PSA explaining what you can do to help.

This is a big issue, and I thought that the facts were very simply stated, this way people can know part of the issue and go on to learn more if they want to. I went on a looked more into it and was shocked

e-waste
I found it very interesting that Microsoft is involved in this video as they are very much responsible for the big mountain of e-waste, by releasing operating systems which are very resource hungry. And because of the closed nature of the drivers you wont be able to find any for older peripherals and the latest OS.
I run GNU/Linux on a 1.5 GHz single processor and 500MB RAM and it preforms very well.
