Not to make too fine a point of it, but we are really making a mess of the world. One of the real frustrations I feel in my day to day job is the incredible waste cycle I am a contributing member of.

E- waste is the dirty little secret of the high tech world. We are on a constant journey seeking out the latest and greatest; anything even remotely out of date is dropped as quickly as Christian Bale drop’s the “F” bomb.

There is one group who has taken on a big part of the responsibility of ensuring we reduce our impact on the environment from our serial overconsumption.

Free Geek is the brainchild of some very concerned environmentalists in Portland Oregon who felt that a dedicated network of concerned volunteers was just what the world needed to deal with the mounting problem of techno-waste.
