Taking Action

TAKE IT BACK! MAKE IT CLEAN!
Send a letter to electronics companies urging them to accept responsibility for their products and design for the environment!
Groups across the U.S. have released the 4th Annual Computer Report Card and launched the Computer TakeBack Campaign. The Computer Report Card provides consumers, local governments, and activists with a tool to measure electronics equipment and the environmental performance of companies that produce computers. The Computer Report Card reveals that US companies are continuing to lag further behind their overseas competitors in clean production, health-related issues and producing environmentally superior products.

SIGN THE ELECTRONICS TAKE IT BACK PLATFORM!
Join the others who support the guiding principal of Extended Producer Responsibility for post-consumer electronics waste. The objective of EPR is to make brand name manufacturers financially responsible for their products when they become obsolete. Our aims are pollution prevention, and waste reduction. Take it Back, Make it Clean, Zero Waste, Fair Labor.

These are past actions.
