[greenyes] Computer TakeBack Campaign unveils new voting

[Anne Peters <annep@no.address>]

 Dear Friends,

Thanks for your continued support of the Computer TakeBack Campaign. In 
the last two and half years, activists around the US and throughout the 
world have been a central component of CTBC's efforts to persuade Dell, 
Inc. to support the CTBC's goals and platform. The campaign has been 
marked by much progress and as a result of Dell's improvements, we are 
now investigating options to focus on a new corporate campaign target. 
The new campaign is just beginning, and we would like your help in 
selecting our next campaign target! Here's what you can do:

Cast Your Vote for who you think is the largest E-Waste Promoter and 
Polluter! (and we promise there will be no hanging chads!!)

While Hewlett Packard and Dell have now endorsed the CTBC's Statement of 
Principles and are supporting producer responsibility bills in states 
around the U.S., many other manufacturers of consumer and business 
electronics have been dragging their feet and are still producing 
computers, televisions, and other electronics products that have limited 
life spans, very limited reuse options, and - to top it all of - are 
highly toxic!

The Campaign has selected 6 of these companies and put them on our new 
"Watch List" while we determine which company will become the next 
target of the campaign. Each of these companies has been working to 
shift the costs for collecting and recycling electronic waste onto the 
backs of consumers or taxpayers.

Help the Computer TakeBack Campaign decide who we should target next

Thanks for your support!
