A17 - REFERENCES for your web content assignment!!!! You are to have a separate section for text, audio, video, websites, etc on your references page. You are also to link to these (audio, video, images, websites, etc) within your pages.

I am asking you to do this as I think it will be the way you will need to ask your students to reference things when they do assignments that involve web content.

The Story Of Electronics and Electronics TakeBack Coalition websites present ideas about how to turn the tragedy around, thankfully.

Kyle suggests:

Asking manufacturers to design and make more recyclable, longer lasting, non-toxic products
Sponsoring or participating in design competitions (like this one) that encourage sustainable innovation
When they’re spent, taking electronics to E-Stewards, recyclers that promise not to export them
Supporting legislation that would curb exports of toxic e-waste, at the moment the U.S. HR 6252
Buying from companies that take back electronics when they are broken or obsolete, to dispose of them responsibly
