According to PC Magazine, most UK residents have about £375 of unwanted but usable gadgets lying around their homes. Hopefully you don’t just toss them when you’re done with them since e-waste is a major source of toxins and carcinogens—and as guardian.co.uk points out, much of the e-waste from Western Europe and the US ends up in the ports of West Africa. How can you be sure your old electronics aren’t causing any harm? It’s simple—sell them to someone else. 
UK residents: Loot.com and Gumtree.com both offer a forum to buy and sell used items. BuyMyTronics.com buys new, used, and broken electronics from any location in the world. Payment is sent through PayPal within 48 hours of receipt. US residents: VenJuvo.com helps you calculate your item’s worth and then buys it from you with two payment options: PayPal or check. Second Rotation.com purchases mobile phones, gaming consoles, MP3 players, and other gadgets to resell them. You could earn over $150 for one item.

 Windows Mobile default clipboard is a fairly limited utility—unless you know how to maximize it. Clipboard Tool, a free download for your Pocket PC, organizes your clipboard as a stack. It also has additional features, like the Links View, which allows you to filter out web links only, and the Filter View, which allows you to conduct complex searches within your stack. In a review for Softonic, Editor James Thornton wrote: “While the default Windows Mobile clipboard only remembers the last copied text, this program is able to save all text copied into a pile, allowing you to retrieve this as a text block at any time. Moreover, you can visualize the entire text available on the stack, using a filter pattern, view only copied links, export the whole stack as a text document, among other possibilities. This makes Clipboard Tool particularly useful for research purposes, as it allows you to collect text content from the Web in a more practical manner.”

10 Tips to Green All Your Electronics

 Treehugger shows you how to stop wasting energy, choose more energy-efficient gadgets, and eliminate electronic waste. Here are the first five ideas (elaboration at Treehugger.com):
- Go rechargeable. The fastest battery chargers can juice up AAs in as little as 15 minutes and will pay for themselves quickly.
- Kill vampire power. Many of the electronics you leave plugged in 24/7—like your TV and phone charger—are constantly draining energy. If you have them all plugged into a power strip, all you need to do is flop the strip off when you’re not using the electronics.
- Buy with energy in mind. Doing research on different technologies and their respective energy consumption can save you a lot in the long run. For example, LCD TVs use less energy than plasmas.
- Treat those batteries right. Knowing how to best use and maintain rechargeable batteries will boost their longevity and performance.
- Make it a short circuit. Either recycle or resell your old electronics instead of throwing them in the trash. This risks releasing chemicals into the ecosystem.
