USPS Offering Free Recycling of Electronics

Postage is paid for by Clover Technologies Group, a nationally recognized company that recycles, remanufactures and remarkets inkjet cartridges, laser cartridges and small electronics. If the electronic item or cartridges cannot be refurbished and resold, its component parts are reused to refurbish other items, or the parts are broken down further and the materials are recycled. Clover Technologies Group has a "zero waste to landfill" policy: it does everything it can to avoid contributing any materials to the nation's landfills. More →

To determine the impact of estrogens in municipal wastewater, Kidd and coworkers seeded a Canadian lake with a synthetic estrogen commonly found in birth-control pills at low concentrations (5 parts per trillion) and studied the effect on fathead minnows. They found that the chemical was concentrated in the fish at 10000 times normal levels, leading to significant feminization of males and altered egg production in females, ultimately leading to the near extinction of the species from the lake in just under three years.

With limited burial space available, Hong Kong officials have begun heavily promoting eco-coffins made of corrugated cardboard. Available in Japan and across Europe, eco-coffins save time and energy, and considerably reducing toxic gas emissions during the cremation process. As Carrie Yau, Hong Kong's Permanent Secretary for Health, Welfare & Food stated,The eco-coffin coincides with the Asian philosophy of integration between man and nature. We will further study the material and design of the coffin and promote the application of the eco-coffin in Hong Kong to bring out the concept of paying tribute to the deceased through protecting the environment.
