I did one too and one problem seems to be corporations operating in Europe must do some recycling but in the U.S. the laws are weak; so I'm not sure if companies do much on old CRTs (TVs, monitors) and stuff. I also suspect that some of those ships just dump waste in the ocean.

We just sourced a good, responsible recycler (greencitizen.com) for our office. I feel better having achieved that. Now it's time to keep helping others make the right decisions. Thanks.

Either way, it's a great first step! Hi Anna, Here’s the link to one of the press releases:

I'll see if I can dig up the details of it for you. Great article… thought you’d like to know that Nova Scotia just started a mandatory e-waste recycling program earlier this month.
