"every electronic when u change to new one, what should u do with the old one"


At first, if you are interest in this subject about recycling, you can check the website which is http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120114002163112121.html?mod=yahoo_hs&ru=yahoo to check the original text.
Nevertheless, my friend, you can check my summary for the article below.

There is an idea which is what you need to do when an energy saving blub is broken in your apartment. What I mean is break to pieces. The correct way to deal with that is open the windows in your house about at least 15 minutes to let the air take away the mercury which contain in the small bulb that bad for your health.

The society concern the recycling issue more than past year because the development of new technology allows people change their electronic products such as computer and TV rapidly. In the last few years, many companies such as Best Buy Co. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. had already started the recycle program so that people can bring their old office items such as laptops and fax machines back to the company for the recycling. In addition, in some states the government has made the law for this issue. For instance, in California it is illegal to throw the energy saving bulbs away.

More people started recycling this year and more people are interested in recycling. People realize the dangers for the environment if they just throw them way in the garbage. And computers, televisions and other electronics contain materials such as lead, cadmium and mercury could bad for their health.

In many developing countries, this problem has not properly dealt with. There, people can take apart the product in order to sell the valuable components. At the same time, they ignore the negative influences to the environment and human being.

If people who want to know the places to drop their old electronic things, they can check several Web sites such as http://www.earth911.org/ and www.epa.gov/bulbrecycling. Moreover, they can also check with the manufacturer.
