Environmental awareness is growing all the time, but unfortunately for those of us who have a thing for technology, it isn't easy being green.
When you've got a house, office and pocket full of energy-hungry gadgets, how on earth do you manage to make yourself less of a pain in the arse for the planet?
The Treehugger blog has a selection of really good tips if you're interested in: the basic guidelines seem to fall under research (buy well), recycle (batteries, phones, anything you can) and restrict (cut down your phantom consumption).
Being green with electronics doesn't mean living in a teepee listening to truckers squalk on the old short-wave. Greening your electronics is a matter of knowing what tech to get, how to use it best, and what to do with it when its useful life is done. Many of these best practices aren't things you'll read in the instruction manual, either.
Worth a read.
