Story of Electronics. More-info-SoE. The Story of Electronics. Renee Blanchard, from our Greener Electronics campaign, sent in this blog from San Francisco, where the sequel to the great The Story of Stuff web video (which is also a book!)
Has just been released. The US based Story of Stuff Project has just released their next film, The Story of Electronics. It cleverly explains how the electronics industry ‘design for the dump’ instead of ‘design to last’ practices are hurting our environment and the health of workers who recycle our old products. The film reiterates what Greenpeace and other environmental organizations around the world have been asking the electronics industry for years, eliminate hazardous substances, take responsibility for obsolete products, and redesign electronics to last longer. Last week Greenpeace released the 16th edition of the Guide to Greener Electronics applauding the progress the industry has made.
