E-Waste: The Greening Of Retail

Did you know that we in the IT Industry are creating waste, E-Waste, at a rate of 4 times other waste? In 2007 alone, we created over 12 million tons of the stuff just here in the US. This material contains significant amounts of toxic or hazardous materials like heavy metals, brominated compounds and polyvinyl chlorides which leach toxins into the soil and ultimately into our ground water.
