Synopsis: Sell/Recycle any flash storage device you have with flash-based memory. Any USB cards or sticks, any digital camera cards like Secure Digital (SD), SmartMedia, CompactFlash, MiniSD, MicroSD, MMC, and Multimedia Cards. In general, any storage device that still works or may even be broken.

Today modern computers both laptops and desktops come with SmartMedia slots built-in and not only at the corner of the desktop and laptop computer world but in the digital camera sphere as well, the flash based storage devices today grip its monopoly as it is the latest “electronic film” with several advantages, noiseless, faster, lighter, bigger and with no moving parts; furthermore, it is rewriteable.

Components: A SmartMedia card or any flash based storage card or USB device consists of 1-4 NAND flash EEPROM microchips. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory is a non-volatile storage semiconductor chip that can retain the stored information even when not powered. These semiconductors are solid and its electrical conductivity can be controlled either statically or dynamically. Semiconductors are identical to insulators but are Silicone, and is the prime raw material for all these microchips.

Semiconductors Production and use of Hazardous Substances: Preparation for semiconductor materials requires high levels of chemical purity as even a small existence of impurities can have large effects on the properties of the chips. Furthermore, these materials have to be doped with other elements to adjust its electrical response as a current carrier by controlling the number and charges being either positive or negative.

Due to this requirement of high chemical purity, semiconductor devices require raw materials have to go through series of purification processes from melting to re-solidification through several chemical reactions to produce these modern marvels.

More then eight week of manufacturing is required to process these products through multiple chemical processes and disposition process like Chemical vapor deposition, Chemical-mechanical planarization, and Ion implantation etc. Altogether these USB devices and digital camera storage cards (flash memory chips) have to go though over 300 sequenced processing steps and eight or more levels of major compound procedures.

In this processes many toxic materials and harmful chemicals are used as catalyses to purify them. These substances primarily as listed below are the prime pollutants, and are one of the main causes of miscellaneous cancer and genetic diseases we are facing today and our children will face tomorrow.
Poisonous elements such as arsenic, boron, antimony and phosphorus; poisonous compounds like arsine, phosphine and silane. Highly reactive liquids, such as hydrogen peroxide, fuming nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid.

Energy recycling is becoming more popular as global warming and rising energy costs force people to try to find ways to reduce energy costs. Most large scale efforts in energy recycling focus on converting wasted heat (combined heat and power co-generation) or mechanical energy (renewable braking technologies) into electrical energy and overlook the larger potential to recycle wasted electricity.

Big utilities generate electricity to service large populations of customers who are often many miles away. This distance, and the variety of customers serviced have very serious implications for their efficiency. They must over-generate to;

1. compensate for the significant amount of wasted energy drained by transmitting the energy over large distances.
2. create a buffer that ensures a stable energy supply despite frequent fluctuations in actual energy needs. Called anticipatory generation, the only possible optimization is to adjust generation to match historical use trends… then add a margin for stability of the distribution grid. The added margin is a good thing otherwise we’d be more familiar with the catastrophic power failures that occur when generation fails to meet actual need.

Over-generation is a fact of life when using centralized power generation to meet energy needs but it also has significant implications for consumers and the environment;

1. The excess is wasted energy, a privilege that increases the energy prices we pay.
2. conventional energy co-generates pollution, so we’re actually producing more pollution than necessary to meet actual energy needs on a daily basis.

Here’s how us ordinary folks can turn the electrical energy over-generation fact of life into an opportunity to combat rising energy costs and global warming:

For safety’s sake, the margin in anticipatory power generation is often bigger than necessary, thanks to the biggest energy consumers. To harness the excess margin we can use battery chargers to recycle electrical energy and stash it in the chemical storage of rechargeable batteries. This energy recycling method puts so little strain on the power grid that it won’t cause energy producers to crank up energy production to compensate, allowing us to gain more useful energy without incurring a pollution penalty, and this is how we can start to use energy recycling to reduce energy costs.

Electrical energy recycling as a viable tool against pollution and rising energy costs:

Many households have battery powered toys, flashlights and other gadgets and are often suckered in by the low cost of disposable batteries so they waste hard-earned money running their gadgets with them. On the other hand, the high burn rate and hassle of frequently replacing disposable batteries make many people dread giving their kids, or seeing their kids get, battery powered toys (they don’t seem to mind giving them to other people’s kids!).

Case in point: My 3 young children each got flashlights as gifts and they’ve used them every night for the past three years. They fall asleep with them on (afraid of the dark) and they stay on until morning. I switched to rechargeables within a month after realizing how much money I spent on disposables. I noticed almost no change in my monthly electricity bill and those rechargeable batteries are still going strong. The kids have received many more battery powered toys since then and I don’t dread it any more. A few more rechargeable batteries lets me avoid the hassle of buying an endless stream of disposable replacements.

Whether buying 1 or 100s of disposable batteries, we spend too much money and produce too much garbage when compared to using rechargeable batteries:

• Purchase price for a rechargeable battery is 8 times as much as that for disposables, and
• recharging a battery cost 20 times less than replacing a disposable and charging can be repeated 1000 times; same cost as 50 disposables over the life on 1 rechargeable… but
• even though a fully charged rechargeable battery lasts about ½ as long as a disposable, being rechargeable up to 1000 times makes using a rechargeable the same as using nearly 500 disposables.

This means that over its lifetime a single rechargeable battery saves you the hassle of buying 500 replacement batteries, cost you 88% (1-(50%2B8)500) less, and reduce pollution of landfills by 500 disposable batteries. But it doesn’t stop there with using rechargeable batteries for energy recycling…

Viability of electrical energy recycling as a weapon against global warming:

Recycling electricity using rechargeable batteries is an integral part of some power generation systems, particularly home based solar and wind power. Interestingly it is not an option exercised by centralized power utilities for two reasons;

1. the waste due to transmission lines makes it ineffective and
2. the size of batteries needed to service such high needs is neither feasible nor cost-effective.

Electrical energy recycling is best for smaller decentralized power systems and this means that the average individual can use it to combat global warming. Here’s how:

• Use it for small (100W or less) but important needs such as portable tools and rechargeable gadgets.
• Whenever possible, buy products that use standardize battery types such as 12V car batteries, AA-cell, C-cell, etc. Standardized batteries are more versatile, they can often share chargers and every item that uses one serves as a potential emergency backup battery source for another that has run out of charge.
• Recycle and store the excess generated energy when the use rate is fairly stable (late evenings to early mornings) to avoid causing the generators to increase production (recharging small devices rarely load the grid enough to trigger the increase) and prevent an increase in co-generated pollution… more usable energy %2B 0 pollution increase = less pollution/energy unit.
• Reuse the recycled energy at your convenience.

Manufacturers and organizations have been using conventional energy recycling to recover wasted energy from their processes and save themselves tons of cash. This method of electrical energy recycling gives everyone the power to increase the efficiency of centralized power plants by increasing the amount of useful energy without increasing co-generated pollution. For our efforts we get to reduce our own energy cost (recharge at 20 times less cost than buying disposable batteries) and everyone benefits from zero increase in pollution.

So until we can rid the earth of highly polluting energy production, keep electrical energy recycling in your arsenal of tools for fighting against rising energy costs and global warming. Harness the lowly rechargeable batteries and battery chargers to reduce energy cost and reduce pollution.

As the public is becoming more aware of our impact on the environment, we are seeking more responsible sources of energy. Alternatives to fossil fuels, such as biofuels, are becoming more in demand. Firewood is a form of biofuel, but in order to burn wood you must cut down trees. It also produces a lot of smoke. Could firewood actually be a form of energy that is harming the environment?

Clearing forests for firewood in the developed world is really not a problem. In some third world countries it is, but not here in the US and other industrialized countries. Anyone who spends much time in our forests knows that deforestation is less of a problem than the environmental groups and the media lead the public to believe. An even greater problem is out forests is too many trees.

How can you have too many trees? Lightning sparked fires have been a part of nature since before humans ever walked the Earth. These fires keep the forests thinned and clean. Since we started putting out wildfires, the trees have become overgrown. Some forests have become so thick you can hardly walk through them. The excessive amount of trees competing for the same resources stresses the forests, slows the growth of trees, and makes them more vulnerable to diseases and fire.

Responsibly harvested firewood often comes from thinning the trees. Only some of the trees are cut which leaves more room and resources for the trees that are left to grow. This produces more healthy and natural forests that are more similar to what was there before people started putting wildfires out. The difference is, instead of the wood being consumed by wildfire or rotting in the forest, it is consumed in your home where the energy can be used instead of burning fossil fuels.

If you are worried about your firewood contributing to deforestation, think again, you may actually be helping the environment by burning wood. Just be sure your firewood is coming from a responsible source and well managed forests.

Buy wholesale firewood harvested from a responsible and sustainable source.

Agricultural pollution refers to the contaminants present in the environment as a result of agricultural practices. Most effects of agricultural pollution are felt in water environments and are caused by runoff from farms and barnyards such as ammonia, pesticides, fertilizers, oil toxins, and animal waste that make their way into bodies of water. Agricultural pollution also negatively affects the quality of air. Chemicals and byproducts from the agricultural industry are quite harmful to the natural environment and can pose a problem for humans as well. As the world’s population continues to grow at a significant rate the demand for intense agriculture will remain high, and so combating agricultural pollution will be increasingly difficult. With this in mind, several alternatives to industrial agriculture, with its polluting tendencies, have been explored and are being utilized today.

Pesticides used to kill insects that feed on crops can cause much damage to the environment if used inappropriately. Excessive pesticides remain in the soil after sprayings and are washed away by rain that forces them to be absorbed into groundwater. Avoiding pesticide contamination is a tricky process only feasible through careful containment practices. The same problem exists with the use of fertilizers. Excrements produced by cattle and other barnyard animals also cause pollution. The methane released from cow flatulence is also a type of greenhouse gas making it partly responsible for global warming. Emissions from the use of fossil fuels by tractors and other farm equipment used in agriculture also contribute to air pollution. Fires, which are not uncommon on farms, can be very detrimental to the environment if fertilizer or waste products are being burnt. The problem of agricultural pollution is not simply felt in regions in farming regions. Contaminates in rivers can be carried all the way to the ocean and polluted air can be blown to other areas with denser populations.

Agricultural pollution poses numerous human health problems. Chemicals that make their way into groundwater can eventually end up in water sources that are used for drinking. Blue baby syndrome, a disease that causes death in infants, is often caused by contaminated water. Pesticides released into the air and emissions from farm equipment cause difficulty breathing and a host of respiratory problems. Fertilizers, manure, waste, and ammonia that are present in water release nitrogen that reduces the amount of oxygen present resulting in the death of fish and other marine animals.

While industrial agriculture is the most efficient way to produce large quantities of food, the pollution associated with it raises many environmental and health concerns. In light of this, there has been a shift to organic farming which uses more natural ways to raise crops and livestock and avoids the use of harmful chemicals. The use of alternative crops that require less fertilizer because they are adapted to the environment in which they are grown also help to reduce agricultural pollution. However, the demand for cheaper and higher quantities of food as world population steadily rises will make changes in farming methods less likely and more difficult.

Synopsis: Sell/Recycle any flash storage device you have with flash-based memory. Any USB cards or sticks, any digital camera cards like Secure Digital (SD), SmartMedia, CompactFlash, MiniSD, MicroSD, MMC, and Multimedia Cards. In general, any storage device that still works or may even be broken.

Today modern computers both laptops and desktops come with SmartMedia slots built-in and not only at the corner of the desktop and laptop computer world but in the digital camera sphere as well, the flash based storage devices today grip its monopoly as it is the latest “electronic film” with several advantages, noiseless, faster, lighter, bigger and with no moving parts; furthermore, it is rewriteable.

Components: A SmartMedia card or any flash based storage card or USB device consists of 1-4 NAND flash EEPROM microchips. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory is a non-volatile storage semiconductor chip that can retain the stored information even when not powered. These semiconductors are solid and its electrical conductivity can be controlled either statically or dynamically. Semiconductors are identical to insulators but are Silicone, and is the prime raw material for all these microchips.

Semiconductors Production and use of Hazardous Substances: Preparation for semiconductor materials requires high levels of chemical purity as even a small existence of impurities can have large effects on the properties of the chips. Furthermore, these materials have to be doped with other elements to adjust its electrical response as a current carrier by controlling the number and charges being either positive or negative.

Due to this requirement of high chemical purity, semiconductor devices require raw materials have to go through series of purification processes from melting to re-solidification through several chemical reactions to produce these modern marvels.

More then eight week of manufacturing is required to process these products through multiple chemical processes and disposition process like Chemical vapor deposition, Chemical-mechanical planarization, and Ion implantation etc. Altogether these USB devices and digital camera storage cards (flash memory chips) have to go though over 300 sequenced processing steps and eight or more levels of major compound procedures.

In this processes many toxic materials and harmful chemicals are used as catalyses to purify them. These substances primarily as listed below are the prime pollutants, and are one of the main causes of miscellaneous cancer and genetic diseases we are facing today and our children will face tomorrow.
Poisonous elements such as arsenic, boron, antimony and phosphorus; poisonous compounds like arsine, phosphine and silane. Highly reactive liquids, such as hydrogen peroxide, fuming nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid.

Computer Recycle & The Environment

Today we at eProvided.com are apprehensive about the wastes that are being generated from electronic products. Those small silicon wafers that allow computers, digital cameras, gadgets, etc. to function, are insatiable abuser of chemicals, water, fossil fuels, and gasses like nitrogen. Just to produce a single semiconductor microchip, it requires over three pounds of fossil fuels, almost a quarter pound of toxic chemicals, seventy pounds of water, and over a pound of nitrogen and all have direct & adverse effect to our health; furthermore, are the prime components for cancer, nervous system disorder, reproduction health and genetic malfunctions.

Now Imagine, the total number of these cards produced this year, 115.7 million in 2006, and 88.2 million in 2005. Linear to this figure are the aggregate effects on the environment.

Hence, if you are the user of SmartMedia cards, SD cards, CompactFlash cards, USB Sticks, USB Thumb Drives, digital cameras, and any other devices including the latest gadget and gizmos like MP3 players and Digital Voice Recorders, remember your responsibility for today’s environmental hazards. These products all use flash memory silicone chips.

Instead of throwing these materials away anticipating it will organically decompose, do remember to either recycle or sell them for reuse.
