Recycling and why being green can bite you in the butt.

A company recently donated a group of old computers to the library near us as part of its going green process. The owner came and gave a speech about the importance protecting the environment and how the computers would do more good there then in a dump pile.

About a month later the company received a lawsuit. Seems that there had been a data leak. The company hired down one to track down the source and low and behold someone had managed to pull ups some old documents off one of the computers. 

Don't get me wrong going green is great, but make sure you take the proper steps with electronics.
