The Washington State Department of Ecology is very interested in us recycling old televisions, stereos, computers, and other electronics equipment. In 2009 they will offer free recycling for consumers. But is electronics recycling in the State of Washington mandatory, or is it just recommended? In other words, if I’m a horrible person and throw my stuff in the trash, what are the consequences, if any?

The "Cash for Clunkers" program ended this week but reportedly consumers bought almost 700,000 new vehicles. DO you think this program truly replaced gas-guzzlers with vehicles that are that much more petroleum saving? Do you think the government truly had the environment and climate in mind or do you think this was just another form of bail-out for car manufacturers?

Is there such a thing? If not I wonder if one could be produced. Perhaps there would be a more appropriate title that would attract the attention of consumers and lend well to marketing.

Do you have any suggestions for this or
…. what other environment and ecology games have you seen that people actually find interesting and fun?

Good riddance, George W. Bush. You oil executive. Eight years of choking the environment in air and water pollution. How many more days left of Mr. Disaster? Anyway, now that Obama will be our next President, will things begin to turn around for the environment? Will more attention be paid to Global Warming? Will Americans forget about trying to get the biggest SUV on the road and purchase cars that are compact and fuel efficient? Will consumers and shareholders demand that corporations have more accountability for the environment?
