POINT / E 'in continuous growth, between 3% and 5% a year, the mass of waste electrical and elettronici.L' Europe Calls to recycle and does so at a rate three times higher than in Italy.



Rome. Efficienza.E 'This is the magic word for the economic recovery in the era of crisis that we face in the stretched time: finanaziaria crisis, energy crisis, a crisis climatica.Il lowest common denominator out of the impasse is to return to the roots , the first principle that drives the economy: who wins, the same performance, consumes energy meno.In the brutality of the fluctuations in value of crude oil has convinced all of the goodness of this principle, easily forgotten in the years of energy and drogata.Ma finance penetration of the new culture in the world Waste is slower peche has to deal with the tendency to remove the problem of discards lived more or less unconsciously, in opposozione wing solar sphere of production as related to the underworld and obscure, an impure world by fire .

One of the industries in which the "waste of waste" can quickly be overcome is that of electronics in this field because the two extremes, the point at which you buy and when you throw, they tend to get closer .[...] From quantitative point of view we begin to deal with a mass consistent. In Italy an estimated 850 000 tonnes per year of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), in Europe are 9 million tons .[...] What to do with these materials, collected in an intelligent way can become an interesting business, but dumped illegally creates serious environmental problems because they contain toxic elements and persistent that pose a risk to the environment and human health? Europe calls for recycling and already traveling at a faster rate than in the UK: 6 kilograms of WEEE per inhabitant per year [...]

... To prevent the illegal disposal each country must do its part. Italy is, as often happens in the environment, lags behind the European Roadmap. From January 2008 was launched the national system of management of WEEE, but the target set December 31, 2008 (4 kg per inhabitant) has not been achieved ... were collected only about two pounds per capita. [...] The collection takes place in seprate equipped platforms (just under 3 thousand) which are distributed in a very asymmetrical, with heavy concentration in North Central and a symbolic presence in the South

[...] The other brake to remove to take off the car collection of computers, phones, refrigerators, video recorders is the simplification of procedure.In this case the law in question serves to protect us from a serious risk, the traffic of waste, but its interpretation is close to paradox: the merchants who set aside a hairdryer, an iron or a DVD player are equal footing with the professionals of the disposal of hazardous waste. And then you look good and keep the store ten broken phones carried by the user: the initiative would be considered a crime, just about the opening of an uncontrolled landfill.

The difference between the environmental risk from the accumulation of product that caused some radio and downloaded by thousands of trucks that discharge into Campania dell'ecomafia appears to need more evidente.Ma He reads the encoding of this encoding delays .. [ ...]

Spam, or better, e-mail junk "polluter as three million cars!

data are these:

62 trillion e-mails are sent every day worldwide
2 billion email accounts are active
97% is the percentage of the total number of spam e-mails exchanged
868 billion of kWh is the estimated energy consumption of the Internet in the world
7 grams is the CO2 produced by a thorough search on google
1752 kWh annual consumption is the energy of each avatar in Second Life


......... We just needed the internet to pollute the environment and aggravate the greenhouse effect ........................ Environmentalists

all the world have a new enemy: it is spam, the junk mail that clogs email boxes with unwanted advertisements, proposals for easy money, scams and viruses. According to a study just published each year due spam ends up in the atmosphere the equivalent greenhouse gas production from 3.1 million cars that consume 7 billion gallons of gasoline. The study, commissioned by McAfee security and conducted by researchers at ICF International, takes into account the energy wasted to transmit, receive and filter all junk mail that travels on the internet. This is something like 62 000 billion messages per year, according to a recent report published by Microsoft now account for 97 percent of all e-mails exchanged in the world. To handle this amount of useless data, servers and PCs that make the Internet consume 33 billion kWh, the equivalent of the energy used in a typical year, 2.4 million homes. McAfee, which is one of the leading anti-spam filters, argues that the use of these devices can save 135 billion kilowatt-hours annually, and in terms of greenhouse gases equivalent to the impact of 13 million cars. When, last November, one of the main speakers of junk e-mail was knocked out, it was as if they had disappeared from the streets of 2.2 million vehicles. "Stopping Spam," said Jeff Green, McAfee, "saves time and money, and is a long-term investment for the whole planet." McAfee obviously has commercial interests in the fight against spam. But the negative effects of spam are well known to anyone with a mailbox, and not only spammers are very quick to follow the habits of Internet users, and their focus is shifting from the old e-mail to the modern social-network . Last week, a malicious software has inundated the twitter users with thousands of automatically generated messages, proving once again that no new medium is immune to spam. is not the first time that researchers are trying to translate the use of new technologies in terms of environmental impact. To throw a new light on the subject was a couple of years ago, Greenpeace, the report 'Cutting Edge Contamination, "which revealed how the major manufacturers of PCs, mobile phones and media players make extensive use of highly toxic chemicals. Recently Alex Wissner-Gross, a physicist at Harvard, has estimated that a thorough search on Google produces between 5 and 10 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2). Earlier it was observed that every Second Life avatar, considering the computing power necessary to manage this virtual world, each year consumes the equivalent of a Brazilian citizen in the flesh. Overall, it is estimated that computers, monitors, modems and other equipment that make up the Internet require an annual output of 868 billion kWh, or 5.3 percent of world energy consumption.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Curiosity

The origin of the word "spam" comes from a sketch comedy of Monty Python's Flying Circus, set in a place where every dish was proposed based spam, a type of canned meat. A menu of horrified customers. Monty Python tease the flesh Canned Spam constant advertising for the brand she used to bring in a certain period, the Spam was everywhere, hence the sketch of Monty's and then the adjustments are not required to advertise.

What My Name Snl Skit

Comment Seventh Lesson .. or rather curious comment about Steve Wozniak

He who was considered one of the most " nerd" of the school, xkè loved science fiction, computers, laboratories and has become well known as one of the richest men of the principal figures have made a substantial contribution (if not on) to 'IT (among them Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Page and Sergey Brin). The accumulated capital is high, so high as to enable a house high-tech and cost high, then unfortunately had to sell because unfortunately there was not enough field for his cell phone .. now become celebrities, Steve Wozniak wanted to meet one of his passions which he cultivated as a child .. sports! And now the billionaire has established a team of players to "Segway polo". In Rome, it is easy to admire the ridden Segways by the police station Termini or Piazza del Popolo. In San Francisco you may have seen new riders running around a field playing.

Woz has a full stable of 22 Segways, and the total cost of the doubt I was confirmed by the Italian price of the Segway: Circa 5000 € base. ... Blessed are the brains and cheers IT!
