Zune players eco friendly?
This article below goes on about how many CD’s you save the planet if you buy a Zune but there was little comparison to the damage the battery and other heavy metals inside your portable media players that are not properly disposed of and end up in waterways or landfills where they are doing more damage than a lot of CD’s.
I think if we had an environmental impact tax on items like batteries and other dangerous materials you would find a lot more green equipment being developed. I do not think I would call a Zune eco friendly unless it were properly recycled in the end of it’s life but I can certainly see the article writers point as to the number of plastic disks saved by harddrive players.
Saving the World, One Zune at a time… – Thomas Jowers — Seeking Alpha
Did you know that buying and using a Zune is saving the world? (not just the Zune, but an Ipod, or any other MP3 player)Check out my Zune Card in the forums!My Zune 80 holds 177 albums as of right now. If I had to buy all of those albums think of all the packaging waste that would come with those.
cdrecyclingcenter.com says that MILLIONS of plastic CD’s are thrown away every year!
Don’t get me wrong, millions if not billions of CD’s are ‘reused’ by the used CD market, you only have to visit ebay to see the huge amount of numbers of music and other types of CDs being reused. That is Great, but eventually they will end up in the trash.
On the other had, not many Zunes end up in the trash, you can still sell a broken Zune for a good amount, I sold a broken iphone for $200 that I washed in the washing machine (long story)
If i washed a CD would anyone pay me $1 for it? I think not.
Just think about, save some packaging, buy a Zune instead of a CD
