I am taking an introductory computer class, and need to do a two page paper and a 5 minute speech. We get to choose the subject. Basically, I am looking for brief information, such as environmental hazzards posed by discarded computers, perhaps an estimate of the number of computers being disposed of daily (monthly, yearly-basically I need one estimate to work with), what can be done with these "obsolete" computers to keep them from ending up in landfills (I noticed you were working with this), etc. I'm not looking for you to give me the information, I don't mind doing the research myself, as I find this an interesting topic. I just need maybe a few websites that may be able to help me. I appreciate any help you may be able to give me in steering me in the right direction. Thank you!
