I’ve looked into green investments before and one of the fastest growing sectors is recycling electronics. One of the latest editions to this trend is called ecoNEW a service program from NEW, a customer service based company that provides extended service and buyer protection programs for products. They’ve jumped on the environmental bandwagon and got into recycling electronics of all sorts. �
Who doesn’t have some of that junk hanging around? I gave my old cumbersome, slow, needed more memory pc to a family who couldn’t afford new. I almost felt sorry for them. They upgraded everything and I can imagine what it ended up costing. Then again I know what it cost me new for this little gizmo spitting out this blog. And yes I have an extended warranty that fixes, replaces, and debugs it, no matter whose fault the problem is. I have a curious, wants-to-be-human, African Grey that I’ve found ripping off my toggle keys while standing in the middle of the keyboard of my laptop that did have a 1500 word class assignment on it. At least I saved the primitive version of it. And I found out those toggles snap back on. If only that would work on those little rubber topped buttons on remote control paddles. Every one of mine is chewed up by you know who, that won’t stay put unless he’s locked up.
Anyway, this looks kind of promising, but there is a draw back with size and weight. You will be afforded this recycling service through the retailer where you buy your electronics. When your electronic gadget gets shabby, or you want to trade it in for the latest electronics, you will simply go to a website, and fill out the online form regarding your item. EcoNEW will render a trade-in price and provide a shipping label. When your electronic item is received by ecoNEW, and verified, they will remit a gift card to the retailer where you originally bought your product. You buy what you want and what you’ve just recycled gets reconditioned, parted out, or recycled properly.
See what I mean about size and weight restrictions. Sorry but that old puter of mine was heavy! I think ecoNEW will work mighty fine with recycled cell phones though, as well as laptops, MP3 players, game devices, and any smaller items. We simply can’t keep throwing this old stuff in landfills. You never know when the Twilight Zone will hit and all those electronics and old batteries in landfills unite and become transformers and march on us. I’m taking Art of Fiction in class right now. Can you tell?
For more about ecoNEW read: http://world-wire.com/news/0801070001.html. EcoNEW is showcased at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Expo through tomorrow. After watching this on TV, I really want to go to this expo sometime. Besides, any reason to go to Vegas is a good one.
For green investment in recycling of this sort goto: www.investingforthesoul.com. Ron Robins posted his website when I blogged about green business investments back in December. He’s been green investing for 40 years! He surely knows more than green me on green investing.
Great blog!

Thanks Luis. Great site I just checked it out and will be doing that a lot more. Live Paths is a great name. Was reading the article about heat trapped on urban streets. I’ve been downtown New York in mid-July. My dogs fried! No kidding there’s a lot of energy going to waste there.

Just wondering if any active traders are starting to trade the ETFs? After reading the book by Larry Connors – High Probability ETF Trading – I switched and I would say overall my results have improved but there are fewer trading opportunities because of the small number of ETFs he writes about. ETFs seem to be a little less erratic in their price movement so that’s good but some of them have poor results using the systems he describes in the book.
Lots of Great information in your post, I favorited your blog so I can visit again in the future, Thanks
Morning i just stumbled your site from Google and been browsing around some of your posts and just wondering why you selected a WordPress site dont you find it impossible to do anything with? Also a security concern?
I write the blog as part of monroeblogs.com in conjunction with the Monroe News and they use Word Press. I can upgrade my site with a much better template from Word Press I’m sure but simply do not have the time to mess around with it. And you’re right, Word Press is a chore even though I have Word Press for Dummies and actually learned how to web write in college. It’s time consuming and I’m working on 3 books too. As for security, every time I do research to write something derogatory about the coal industry, I spend a week fighting virus attacks. It’s happened too many times for it to be coincidence. Since then I’ve added PC Tools with a registry cleaner now and it’s working out pretty well.
