eWaste awareness: not all electronics go to heaven

I've written how I didn't always know that much about eWaste. I understand there are some great, informative videos that vividly show the eWaste crisis -- i.e., sending them off to developing nations to disassemble toxic components. But I haven't taken the time to watch them. So that's why I'm pleased to link to this short documentary "Not all electronics go to heaven" by Portland son Leland Scantlebury, who profiles Green Citizen, an electronics recycler in San Francisco (this is where Scantlebury is going to film school). Prepare to see startling images of toxins spewing in the wind. Children dismantling eWaste. Yet, awareness of the eWaste issue is the number one step in getting people involved, and doing the right thing.

Green Citizen has two locations: San Francisco and Silicon Valley. In the Portland we recommend Bear eCycling and Free Geek.
