Many many years ago, there lived a man who cared nothing for his fellow man. Such was his disdain that he made no effort to show anyone any kind of respect or consideration. Worst of all, he was wasteful. He had more than anyone could ever want and three times as much as any one needs.
Each year when holiday time rolled around, he would spend to excess and buy all sorts of things for himself. But rather than keep or repurpose his old things, he would throw them away. This was upsetting to many of his neighbors. They knew of many less fortunate families with children who could use what he was wasting. From time to time, these neighbors would reach out to him and try to convince him to recycle or donate what he no longer needed. Sadly, he would lash out and tell them it was none of their concern.
Each year millions of tons of electronic waste are sent overseas to developing nations and not recycled or disposed of properly creating toxic living conditions. Don't be a Grinch. Recycle what you can this year and make the holidays happier for everyone for years to come.
