Where does your computer go when it dies?
You are probably not aware of the fact that the inside of your computer contains toxic as well as carcinogens substances, such as lead, phosphorus, cadmium, barium, beryllium, chromium and quicksilver.
A colored monitor contains an average of 1,8-3,6 kilos of lead that can easily leak in the environment when disposed into a dump.
A ?dead? PC is then transformed into dangerous electronic waste which requires recycling of strict technical specifications.
Nevertheless, the developed world, instead of recycling the electronic waste it produces; it chooses to export it to underdeveloped countries where it is then recycled by thousands of underpaid workers. Workers who have to choose between one dollar poisoning and starvation. While a computer is being ?cremated?, the air, the water and the soil of our planet are irreparable contaminated undermining our lives.
Each year, up to 50 millions tones of electronic waste is exported to China. There it is recycled and re-integrated as feedstock into the production chain. In China the cost of recycling such waste is thirty times lower than in Western Europe, U.S.A. and Japan. But most important, recycling procedures are not environment-friendly.
The city of Guiyu situated in Guang Dong of southern China is probably world?s biggest computers? dump. Each day thousands of computers arrive clandestinely at Guiyu where they are cut into pieces, rinsed with acid water and finally burned for gold, silver, copper, glass and plastic.
The city looks like a giant digital dump. Abject workers, men, women and under-age children, have raised new shanty towns. Most of them are Chinese emigrants who left their homes and land to work for 1,50 dollar per day at this new lucrative industry. From East to West they collect cable and wires, hammer printers, break monitors, burn circuit boards and sort out computer parts with bare hands. This primeval death procedure of the western world?s fetish-machine releases heavy metals that penetrate into the food chain and cause death. The computers? burial contaminates soil and fluvial water with cadmium, quicksilver, chromium, cobalt.

At this time in our planet's history a tremendous transformation is taking place, and challenges lie ahead for us all. What is needed to collectively reorient ourselves towards a viable future? How can we help each other live our greater human potential? How can we reimagine our relationship to the world?
The Global Oneness Project is exploring these questions with people from all walks of life, worldwide. This short film is a retrospective of our journey so far, weaving together many of the insights shared with us. We invite you to visit http://www.globalonenessproject.org, for more films, interviews and ways to get involved.

"Number one, the illegal aliens shouldn't be here. And number two, the culture from which they come is a lot more violent than the USA."
-- The O'Reilly Factor, January 15, 2007
There are many problems facing the United States today: a faltering economy, a health-care crisis, and the continuing war in Iraq, to name a few. But viewers of some of the most prominent cable news programs are presented a different reality in which one issue stands above all others: illegal immigration.
Media Matters Action Network undertook this study in order to document how immigration is discussed and debated on cable news. When it comes to immigration, cable news overflows not just with vitriolic rhetoric, but also with a series of myths that feed viewers' resentment and fears, fostering hostility toward immigrants.
We focus our analysis on a trio of cable commentators: Lou Dobbs, Bill O'Reilly, and Glenn Beck. While hosts on other cable programs regularly discuss illegal immigration (particularly on Fox News, where it is a frequent topic on Hannity & Colmes and Special Report with Brit Hume), these three are the most notable for a number of reasons. On their eponymous programs, Dobbs, O'Reilly, and Beck serve up a steady diet of fear, anger, and resentment on the topic of illegal immigration.

Then, let's introduce the vegetable musical instruments that can have been done this time.
It is a carrot ocarina first.
And, it is an ocarina of a white radish in Japan that can have done this time.
The octave is geted down from the carrot ocarina.
The broccoli ocarina was made.
A good sound is not heard because only such a broccoli was obtained this time. And, a carrot ocarina of the slide type and this carrot ocarina is different the sound hole. When the breath is put here, something is heard. It shaped ..so...
The paprika was punctured. When the breath is put here, such a sound is heard. It is an owl. Carrot panpipe. When the breath is put in this, such a sound is heard. Similary asparagus panpipe was made. However, a good sound is not heard. It is a trumpet of the cucumber and the paprika in the end. There were musical instruments that looked alike also in the vegetable orchestra. Moreover, when musical instruments can be done, I introduces it. Thank you.

http://www.ted.com Accepting his 2005 TED Prize, photographer Edward Burtynsky makes a wish: that his images -- stunning landscapes that document humanity's impact on the world -- help persuade millions to join a global conversation on sustainability. Burtynsky presents a riveting slideshow of his photographs, which show vividly how industrial development is altering the Earth's natural landscape. From mountains of tires to rivers of bright orange waste from a nickel mine, his images are simultaneously beautiful and horrifying.
