Did you ever think about how much junk you add to the landfill when you toss that damaged or no-longer-needed disk? Maybe not,(say it isn't so) but if you care about the planet and the legacy you're leaving for future generations, you might want to take one small step away from the trash can and one giant step toward the recycling box when you're ready to dispose of your disks.
Okay, so maybe you have just one disk and you figure it's not going to make the teeniest difference if you toss it. But remember, you are not alone. You have lots of friends, relatives and/or co-workers in your life circle and when you add them to your efforts, well, that's pretty much all there is to say.
I've set up a recycle box at home and told all my friends to hand over their used and damaged disks. When the box is filled, I'm sending its contents off to the CD Recycling Center of America. (Check it out, pleeeeeeezzzzz.)
Before I send the box of CDs packing (oooohhh bad pun, I know), I'll snap a picture so you can see how one little person and one little disk can make one big difference.
Oh, and no, I don't make any money from this suggestion and maybe it sounds a tad pretentious or preachy, or sappy, or serious or whatever negative vibes the post elicits, but get over it, dude and dudette.
Recycling, to pinch a Martha Stewart phrase, "It's a good thing."
