[Year 12 IT Apps] Supporting Virtual Teams through Technology -VITTA Workshop 09/08 - Registrations Open!

[Roland Gesthuizen]

We pay for ComputerBank to sustainably destroy and dispose of our old TV's
and CRT (cathode ray tubes)  These must be processed by a leaded-glass
recycler / lead smelter. Just ask them for the price, this is something that
we now factor into my ICT budget. At our school, safety comes first, so does
dealing with eWaste. VITTA have on their website a position statement on
this very issue if you need to raise the costs with your school council.

Heavy metal contamination from early Melbourne efforts at dealing with
industrial waste is now being recycling back into the Port Phillip bay
ecosystem from the channel dredging. If we continue to dump this stuff into
landfill, sit back folks and enjoy your gift to the future ..

Regards Roland
