Think of 4R - REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE and RETHINK
What did you do what your old MP3 player or old mobile phones?
With more and more new models rolling out means that there are more and more numbers of obsolete models, how are you going to handle those expired models?
Electronics devices contains a lot of metals and chemicals such as lead which is not environmental friendly. It really needs to handle with care else it will be harmful to our environment. Songs downloading via internet has made us buy less from the local song’s CD stores, but it ends up with the sales boosts of empty CDs to keep our songs or data in CDs.
The only to help in this is the 4R’s. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE and RETHINK before you buy.
I have been taking about buying “ENERGY STAR” electronics and changes of energy saving light bulbs. Here are more ways provided by MyGreenElectronics.

We buy mammoth numbers of semiconductor based electronics. After few months the market has a newer model. We throw out the old one (ahh old! Its 5 months old) and get a newer model that does the same thing in almost the same way. If we think about it hard where does all the used stuff go? We are destroying out world by our own hands. Even if there is no need of that latest motion sensor we would still go with our urge to buy new stuff. All over the world developing nations are facing dwindling power supplies. It is time to think about it and take concrete action.
