Manufacturing 1 PC Takes 1.8 Tons Of Raw Material

remy writes "Although most of it (1.5 metric tons) is water, a study from the United Nations University details the raw materials used in the manufacture of a PC and 17" CRT. That's an incredible environmental cost per PC, and a very strong argument for trying to leverage older equipment, not to mention upgrading rather than replacing."

yeah but once we were in,we cleaned house,though the primary motivation was gone.

The u.n. has been concidered a mistake by all but the t.v. hypnotized since its inception.

I'd much rather have guidance from government that I elected and can petition than a buncha parasite infested hoodlums bent on harnessing and muzzling the u.s. If you dont like the way things go now,write your represenatives.
Try that with the U.N.,go ahead,write them a letter,send em a card,beg,plead.do any good?...thot not.
