File this in the 'sustainable computing' category: the Southern California
MacFair partnered with ease e-waste,
Inc. to offer free electronics recycling to attendees. Over 800 participants recycled 11,280 pounds of electronic waste during the two-day event at Cerritos College in Norwalk, California.

MacFair's organizer, Keith Mueller, commented "We are thrilled that SoCal MacFair attendees properly disposed of over 5.5 tons of their obsolete electronics and that their old Macs didn't end up in landfills." Kudos to the
MacFair for swimming upstream in a disposable culture.
