If only all the electric non working stuff could be shipped to south america, 90% of it would be fixed, no doubt about it. My parents have had the same tv for 15years and has been fixed a hundred!, same thing with phones, walkmans (!), VCRs, and computers etc. There are lots of local repair shops that not only use the same broken parts but, when in need, also some brain and imagination. And things work AGAIN.

Just stopping to say you have a very cool blog you have going here. I just found it today, but I will be sure to keep reading.

As for monitors, there a few places in NYC that will take your old monitor/computer parts and re-use the cases and properly dispose of the rest. I guess that's the best we can do at this point because sometimes repair costs more than a practical amount.

Also I appreciate that you are reducing your plastic waste to the "bare" necessities. :)

i was fortunate enough to have a father who knows about stuff like this. usually ‘set’ computers are most likely sucky because you couldn’t really repair them without having to bring it to an ‘authorized dealer’, so i was told that it’s best to know the specs you want and buy parts on retail. i know this doesn’t really help much…but ‘yah…was advised to leave a comment so i did:D.

I stumbled upon your blog and wanted to tell you thank you! I just moved to California (San Leandro… we’re neighbors!) last fall and I’ve been learning more about recycling. I grew up in Idaho where the only recycling options were paper and aluminum cans, which we had to haul across town to the recycling center. Needless to say, not many of us did it because of the inconvenience. I love living here where recycled goods are picked up from our house! That still amazes me.

I appreciate your efforts in educating us about reducing our plastic consumption.

I enjoyed readingsome of the things on your page.I think recycling plastic is a good idea.One thing I would like to see in Detroit is trash containers that make it easier to divide up your garbage into plastics,metals,and papers. Now that would be a cool idea.

This is a really important topic! Whenn I think about all of the tvs which will go into landfills next year because of that digital switchover it just makes me sick. Recycling for art purposes is a great idea, its such a shame that our culture is such a throwaway society.
