Short Factual Posts on Hazardous Waste and "E-Waste"

It's vital to get the hazardous and non-hazardous story out there.   Time for bullet points.

1.  The most environmental and toxic damage your television or computer will ever do was done before you took it out of the box.  The mining, extraction, and refining sites are where the carbon occurred, Superfund sites are, mercury was released, etc.

2.  The TV is in its most dangerous state in your living room, plugged into a high voltage wall socket, turned on, and broadcasting garbage which infects your head.  (I posted before this came on the news today).

3.  Handling TVs is very dangerous for employees.  They are heavy and you can hurt your back, or drop one on your foot.  If you drop it hard enough, the glass will break and sharp pieces can cut your hands.  But the most dangerous thing is the forklift behind you.  Toxic poison from a TV?  Never documented in the repair industry.
