EPA is working to educate consumers and others on why it is important to reuse and recycle electronics and what the options are for safe reuse and recycling of these products. State and local governments, manufacturers, and retailers, who are already aware of the pressing need to better manage these materials, are providing more opportunities to recycle and reuse this equipment. Many computer manufacturers, TV manufacturers, and electronics retailers offer some kind of take back program or sponsor recycling events. Many states have passed some sort of legislation to manage end-of-life electronics, and more are expected to follow suit.

Fact: If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, more than 25,000,000 trees would be saved each year.

Tip: Consider reading newspapers and magazines online or getting a digital subscription. Most publications offer digital content at no or reduced cost. Or visit the W.W. Hagerty Library (33rd and Chestnut Street) online at http://www.library.drexel.edu/ and see what publications it has to offer.

The OurEarth.org website began as a simple idea to make it easier for people to find environmental information.  There are outstanding environmental programs, activities, initiatives, ideas, and grassroots efforts across the country but it can be difficult to sort through all of the websites and information available.  As a result, important natural resources, energy savings, and pollutant reductions are lost each and every day, causing unnecessary damage to our planet.
