Bottom Line Green - Part 3 - Electronic Trash

More than 3 million tons of trash is created in the US each year when people toss out their old electronics as they upgrade to the latest gadget. And because cell phones, computers and other devices are no longer built to last very long, the amount of e-waste is escalating. In the third of her four part series "Bottom Line: Green", Ohio Public Radio's Karen Kasler checks out the latest in electronics "e-cycling".

Rick Jackson is a senior host and producer at Ideastream Public Media. He hosts the "Sound of Ideas" on WKSU and "NewsDepth" on WVIZ.
