Those wacky Japanese have done it again. They made discs that store HUGE amounts of data and they are made of CORN!

Apparently, they'd be edible if you could break through the resin coating.... melts in your drive, not in your mouth?

That's ironic Elessar, because "garbage" is exactly what these discs are intended to be. Right now lnadfills are being choked with plastic CDs. Working for various companies I have personally tossed tens of thousands of old CDs and that's just one Network Techie.

Think about it thise way: A company orders 250 software licenses but recienves a CD for each one. Well, that's 249 CDs that I will never even take out of the plastic wrap, and when the next verision comes along, they all go in the trash.

Not only that but I have thrown away thousands of computers and monitors. Turns out that's illegal now because it was introducing Mercury into the landfill, which in turn enters the water table.

So now you can only get rid of computer circut boards (motherboards, video cards, processor, RAM and Hard Drive) and monitors in the same way you dispose of all hazardous waste. You have to leave it on the street corner and hope someone takes it.

The environment isn't too difficult to protect, you just need to get rid of humans and it'll go fine.
