Today’s guest post is by a very patient man who has been waiting for me to get this online for quite sometime! Between being on vacation, having to help arrange the funeral for my husband’s grandmother this week and trying to deal with other flotsam & jetsam that comes up, it got lost in the summer shuffle. Thanks for your patience, Derek…

In 1836, a couple named Marcus and Narcissa Whitman were the first emigrants to travel the full length of the Oregon Trail. Narcissa became the first white woman to cross the Rocky Mountains, and in 1843 Marcus led a wagon train of 1,000 pioneers up the deadly trail, starting the first Great Migration to the West.
I’m on vacation but I still have guest bloggers to highlight while I recharge my rechargeable batteries. (Ha! Get it?)
Today I have a guest post from the UK, Thomas O’Rourke, sharing some information on WEEE recycling in his country.
****
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) became a UK law in January 2007. The primary purpose of this regulation is to attempt to reduce production of electrical and electronic equipment by promoting the benefits of reusing and recycling such resources. WEEE recycling not only enriches the future outlook for natural resources and the environment, but also improves the business performance and cost effectiveness of electronics manufacturing. Companies who are directly involved in the manufacture or sales of electrical equipment and electronics must comply with these regulations by registering on a producer compliance scheme and following certain criteria for selling, manufacturing and disposing of such materials and products.
