COMMENTS: Garbage Out
Both NBC and CBS did their bit to help keep the planet tidy. CBS' Kelly Cobiella in Tampa celebrated GreenArmada.org, a 600-strong volunteer group who retrieve garbage from local rivers and bayous and shorelines. In nine months the group has bagged 40 tons of trash, all picked up by hand. For NBC's In Depth, Kevin Tibbles took us down the periodic table to demonstrate how many metals are to be found in obsolete hi-tech equipment: gold in processors, silver in tape, platinum in circuits, mercury in monitors, lead in solder--"70% of all heavy metals found in landfills comes from discarded electronics." Tibbles recommended recycling.
