Water Conservation:
It takes over 400 gallons of water to make a single desktop computer from scratch. It takes 9 gallons of water to make a small memory chip. |
 |
Poisons & Toxins:
The disposed computers in 2004 contained 1.2 billion lbs of lead, 2 million pounds of
cadmium, 400,000 lbs of mercury, 350 million pounds of brominated retardants. |
 |
Reduced Strip Mining:
One ton of electronic scrap has more precious and reusable metals than 50 metric tons of ore which would otherwise be ripped from the earth. |
 |
Energy Waste:
By weight, it takes a ratio of 2-to-1 to make an automobile and 4-to-1 to make an aluminum can. However, it takes a ratio of 630-to-1 to make a memory chip. WOW! |
 |
Fossil Fuel Waste:
The weight of the fossil fuels required to make desktop computers over 4000lbs, heavier than a sports utility vehicle. |
 |
Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
The re-use of 1000 tons of whole computers represents a savings of 172,000 barrels of oil, 7.2 million gallons of gasoline, and 71,000 tons of CO2 emissions. |
 |
Running Out Of Room:
Over 2,000,000 tons of e-waste was created in 2000 and that number doubles quickly. In 2004 over 315,000,000 (that is million) PCs became obsolete. |
