Summary

"Tech Recycling" addresses the growing global challenge of electronic waste, or e-waste, and explores the potential of recycling technologies to mitigate its harmful effects. The book highlights the alarming rate of electronics consumption and its direct impact on global waste streams, detailing how improper handling of e-waste can lead to environmental contamination due to hazardous materials like lead and mercury. It emphasizes the necessity of transitioning from a linear "take-make-dispose" model to a circular economy where e-waste becomes a valuable resource stream through effective waste management. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the e-waste recycling process, examining various recycling technologies such as dismantling, shredding, and smelting. It also addresses the economic and policy aspects of e-waste recycling, looking at the roles of government regulations, industry initiatives, and consumer behavior in promoting responsible recycling practices. Using case studies and data from material flow analysis, the book demonstrates the feasibility and necessity of a circular economy model for electronics, presenting a fact-based analysis of the entire e-waste recycling chain. The book unfolds in three sections, first introducing the fundamentals of e-waste, then exploring recycling technologies, and finally analyzing the economic and policy aspects. It presents information in a clear and objective manner, maintaining an optimistic tone about the potential for innovation and progress. The book is valuable for environmental scientists, policymakers, industry professionals, and environmentally conscious consumers seeking a deeper understanding of e-waste solutions.

City Nature - Tales of Ornery...

Martha Retallick

In the midst of ongoing news about Southwestern water scarcity, Martha Retallick sees an opportunity. For 20 years, she has been transforming her central Tucson home into an urban oasis. The secret to her success: Water harvesting. Since Retallick purchased her central Tucson home in 2004, she has incorporated two types of water harvesting – passive and active – into her landscape. Passive water harvesting is simply the act of sculpting the landscape to direct the water to where it should be – like plants – and away from where it shouldn’t be – like a home’s foundation. Retallick’s landscape incorporates three passive water harvesting features – basins, berms, and drainage swales. Collectively, these earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation that’s connected to the municipal water supply, which is served by Tucson Water. According to Tucson Water, approximately 40 percent of water use in Tucson is outdoors. This includes residential uses like landscape irrigation and garden watering. Retallick’s irrigation-free landscape also includes two active water harvesting features, a 1,500-gallon cistern that collects rainwater for use in the back-yard vegetable garden, and a laundry-to-landscape greywater harvesting system that diverts wastewater from the washing machine to three fruit trees. City Nature is illustrated with more than 60 of Retallick’s color photographs, which show the wide variety of plant life on her property, the birds she shares it with, and her various do-it-herself projects, the most notable being a kinetic sculpture created from a recycled chandelier. The book also includes a list of suggested resources that encompasses books, websites, organizations, and businesses that can aid readers interested in desert gardening and landscaping, and in water conservation.

Climate Denial

Thomas Porcher, Henri Landes

Is it possible to subsidize fossil fuels on the one hand, while at the same time claiming to be committed to the fight against global warming? 
Is it possible to promote free trade treaties throughout the world while claiming that CO2 emissions must be reduced? 
Can we use indicators that only take into account market production without taking into account pollution?
In view of the climate challenge, the answer to these questions should be negative, but unfortunately today it is still positive. In a documented, clear and incisive book, Thomas Porcher and Henri Landes denounce this climate hypocrisy. In the last chapter, they present 10 proposals to meet the climate challenge. 
Instead of all the great speeches on climate, this book reminds us of the sad reality of recent years—an unprecedented development of polluting energies with unconventional gas and oil, a blind trust in non-existent solutions from the market to fight against climate change, hundreds of free trade treaties being negotiated without climate clauses, inadequate measurement indicators that encourage business as usual.
