Yahoo home page: How to dispose of E scrap

In the last two weeks Yahoo homepage has no less then 2 different stories touting how to get rid of e scrap. NONE RELATE TO YOU ! We the cleaners and watch dogs of the environment are left completely out in the cold. Instead they cowtow to the biggies as usual.

There advice is Goodwill, a supposed non profit whos owner/president is paid over 2 million a year while all his employees earn minimum wage and whos stores sell free used clothing at discount store prices or the big box stores like best buy, office max, staples etc.

Don't know for sure what we can do about it but, we are over 12,000 strong.

Maybe the adm could write a letter to Yahoo letting them know we are here, and have available R2 streams, and certified data destruction. just my .o2

I looked, and could not find the articles you were talking about. My guess is there is nothing that can be done. This is how the media and the world works. The big guys get bigger, and the media is just trying to write a story. All we can do is complain. Like when we hear about miley cyrus and all her crap we don't care about. The world is full of idiots, and the media direct their topics to the majority to get their numbers.

People want to think that goodwill, and other non profits, are doing a great thing in this trash heap of a country they have created. But the truth is they are just adding to it. And the general population of idiots will read any article and believe whatever it says. "I read it on the internet, so it must be true." The media are just glorified story tellers.
Sorry for the rant. (coffee was a little bitter this morning) v:)End Rant.

I saw one of those articles this morning. Just shook my head & closed it. Like PF4 (kinda) said, the media doesn't exist to inform, it exists to sell ad space to the highest possible number of eyeballs. :(

With XP going obsolete, there'll be several of these type stories from now til they find the next shiny thing to talk about.

Thirty second visual exploitation and catchy sound bites, all about selling with very little valuable information (as always follow the money trail).

Have you ever tried doing this(I personly have not) call your local news station or local news paper and ask them if they would be intrested in doing a story about how e-waste is handled. Show the reporter around your shop and what you do with the e-waste. Tell them how everything is recycled and NOT put in the landfill. Might be a good and free way to get your name out there. This is what's called a press release in the business world. We have a local news station that has a morning show that is about 4 hours of news, weather, trafic reports and so on. They have one reporter that goes to a diffrant business every day and they do about 4 or 5 segments about that business through out the show. And it dosn't cost the business owner a penny.
