Since its inception in 2012, more than 40,000 pieces of litter have been photographed, cataloged, and properly discarded. The exhibition will feature photographs from locations around the world, demonstrating this innovative use of social media to address environmental issues and initiate positive change.

CTRC is an environmental charity that provides free computers to under-served portions of the community; and also collects e-waste in a responsible manner, which is then refurbished or sent to an in-State, eStewards-certified refinery.

I have been working with Anne-Christine Pajunen and Jolene Lewis Valentine on a blog and web pages for them.

If non-profits are to address the failures of a market system, then does it follow that the market system can address the failures of non-profits? That I think is the core of the issue that Dan Palotta addresses in this fascinating TED talk.

 Dan Palotta is Chief Humanity Officer of Advertising for Humanity, and the author of Charity Case: How the Nonprofit Community Can Stand Up for Itself and Really Change the World.

E-Waste Collection at Earth Day Marin

CTRC will be collecting e-waste at Earth Day Marin on April 6th 11-5pm at Redwood High School in Larkspur. 
Bring your obsolescent electronics, your broken, your discarded, digital urchins. 
If we can refurbish them, we will give them to schools, non-profits and families or individuals that need a computer.
CTRC is a responsible e-collector. We are e-Stewards certified, meaning we adhere to strict environmental guidelines regarding the recycling and reuse of metals, plastics, minerals and other material in the e-waste.

Where Does your Ewaste Go?

This video was produced by the Basel Action Network. The Computer and Technology Resource Center is a BAN-certified ecollector. They are based in the Bel Marin Keys business district, and none of the ewaste collected by them goes outside of California. For info about the CTRC, go to ewastecollective.org.

Harry Moore, former Novato Mayor and Marin Supervisior, dies

Harry Moore, died Monday night as a result of a brain aneurysm, after being rushed to Marin General
He was a driving figure in the North Bay environmental movement. As a member of the Novato Planning Commission, Mayor, Member of the City Council, and County Supervisor, he helped to establish tougher environmental standards for his community and county. He was also a co-founder of Sustainable North Bay. He served two terms on the College of Marin Community College Board, once in the seventies; and more recently, in the mid part of this decade

He is survived by wife Callita and their four children -- Katie, Chuck, Jeff and Lillian.

Plans for a memorial service are pending.
