US looks at greener gadgets

The US Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)  has launched a new website designed to help tech-savvy consumers be more environmentally friendly. The new site, GreenerGadgets.org, addresses the lifecycle of electronics products, with tips on how to buy green, live green and recycle electronics responsibly. It also features an energy use calculator, which illustrates what consumers’ usage costs them on their energy bill on a monthly and yearly basis, as well as an electronics recycling locator. Walter Alcorn, the CEA’s vice president of environmental affairs and industry sustainability said "We created GreenerGadgets.org so that consumers can understand how better to use their electronics products in eco-friendly ways”.http://www.greenergadgets.org
