Wake up call | 15 novembre 2006

Finally french consumers are waking up to the harsh reality of
environmental issues. Apparently we are consuming too much and waste is
starting to be a universal problem. A new tax has been added to all
electrical devices - from phones to Tvs, computers and fridges. This so
consumers realise the high cost for the environment every time they
change cellular phones or get a new microwave.

So from today on, if you need to get rid of any electrical device you
have several ways of doing just that and there will be no more
electrical "leftovers" on the side of french roads.

Firstly if you are getting, lets say, a new fridge the company delivering it is
obligated to take your old back. They will then make sure the old
fridge gets to its manufacturer, which will eventually destroy it in the proper manner.

For smaller things like computers and cellular phones you simply take them
back to the store or you can get in touch with the local authorities to
know which days electrical waste is recycled. No more putting tv sets
with the odd pizza left overs in the trash. Its so easy, and its free.

Another way would be to subscribe to an environmental aware
group and get ALOT of stuff for free - they exist everywhere and you
simply subscribe to the group in your town: if you have a yahoo mail Freecycle
is your new best friend. Only catch - its free but it doesnt arrive on
your doorstep. Common...one step for you is a giant step for humanity..

So get those recycling boots on...its the least we can do.
