How We Throw It Away

An article about where New Yorkers can recycle their unwanted or obsolete electronics. It's a relief to see that organizations exist to help us dispose of toxic products every one of us own and will eventually throw away. The biggest issue is changing our behavior. It is deeply ingrained in our throw away culture to simply toss our unwanted possessions in the garbage. It seems that consumerism has effectively preached to the masses a god-given right to a simple, thoughtless, and quick way to unload all that we don't want and to speedily replace it with something new.
