E-Cycle Washington Continues to Deliver Success
Miles Kuntz of the WA State Dept. of Ecology reported that collection for the e-Cycle WA program has increased slightly from last year. So far, at the half-way point of the year, volume of collection was at 19 million pounds for 2010, compared to just under 19 million pounds by the end of June in 2009. So, the program continues to successfully recycle the majority of electronics accumulated in Washington that might have otherwise been landfilled! For the complete figures, please go to http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/swfa/eproductrecycle/docs/Collections.pdf.

From Poop to Power!
Our hats are off to the hard-working research engineers at Oregon State University. In their recent effort, they've succeeded in extracting 20 times more electricity from raw sewage than in their previous attempts. As of today, nearly 1.5 percent of electricity usage in the US goes towards the treatment of sewage, so this pioneering technology could significantly cut costs. For the complete story, click here...
