A positive environmental direction: Thank you members of the Greensboro City Council for approving an e-waste recycling program ("Coming soon: e-waste recycling," News & Record, Aug. 17).
As a Guilford County resident (Pleasant Garden) and retired school teacher and education specialist for the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, the decision to include the county residents is appreciated. Also a thank you to the Hayden-Harman Foundation and Greensboro's environmental services department. I have found that computers, printers, etc. are now considered "disposable" by the manufacturers, so consumers will have an option that I hope they use.

I second Ms. Hice's remarks, this is great news.
I have three ancient 17-inch monitors and four computer cases with old motherboards still in them ready to go. And two dead TVs.
