Watchdog Supports "E-Waste" Recycling, Export to Africa

I'm not sure people paid attention to this story about fair trade recycling, "e-waste" and Ethiopia.

Bullet Points:

1. EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson toured a well run "e-waste" shop in Ethiopia.
2. Basel Action Network (via this blog) takes credit, applauds their role with this shop.
3. I applaud it too, as proof that the "Geeks of Color" can do this work.
4. BAN responds, saying that their African e-waste shop is good, but WR3A's aren't
5. BAN has never been to one of our shops, nor to several they have attacked.  I say so.
6. BAN (outrageously) accuses me of re-writing the blog post they had commented on.
7. I prove "did not".  Screen shots of the date of comment, and of last edit of the blog.
8. Pouting ensues on both coasts.

So, the Ethiopia "e-waste" shop creates good jobs, digital access, without polluting?   "Not polluting" is too tame a praise.   The recycling is constructively good for the environment, creating jobs both in the developed nations which export, and in the African countries that receive it.  Compare the jobs created by the Ethiopia (BAN-supported) electronics recycling trade, ton per ton, with the jobs created by shredding PCs (then sending the pieces to be sorted in China - the end market for "no intact unit").
