Invest In Earths Future youtu.be/ubBYgBA2FKA Its never to late for YOU to save the world! - igg.me/at/savetheworld/x Itrex Electronic Recycling of Southern Oregon provides business and residential customers with an outlet to conveniently and responsibly recycle electronics that would otherwise end up polluting our earth with such toxic substances as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, halogenated dioxins and furans. Every day Americans throw out more than 130,000 computers, making electronic waste (e-waste) the fastest-growing portion of the U.S. garbage stream. Improperly disposed of, the lead, mercury and other toxic materials inside e-waste can leak from landfills and worst, wind up on a container ship going to a country like China, India and Pakistan. In theses countries, riverside acid baths and open air burning extract just a few precious materials. All the rest of the very toxic materials such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and beryllium are dumped. When brominated flame retardants are burned at low temperatures, they create halogenated dioxins and furans which are some of the most toxic substances known. Not only do these toxins present risks to communities in which this occurs and to the electronics recycling workers around the world who work and live in those communities, it is also a risk to our entire global ecosystem. Certain toxic chemicals in electronics will not break down over time and eventually accumulate in our food chain and biosphere. Now they need to, and will be going non-profit so that they can continue to offer responsible electronic recycling that will help to keep the constant stream of e-waste from being shipped in containers to countries like China, India and Pakistan. Itrex needs your support for their Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to achieve this goal.
