It’s true, computers are made of very bad things, and for a long time, we consumers, and we corporations, have ignored what happens to those bad things after we’re done with them. But since 2007 is the year of the Greening, it’s no longer so easy to ignore where our detritus ends up. In fact, Apple godhead Steve Jobs recently announced their initiatives in cleaning up our digital trash, strongly noting, in response to Greenpeace’s nonstop pestering, that they’ve in fact been way ahead of the pack for a number of years now. I wrote a small piece on it for Portfolio.com.

I haven’t posted much lately (and sorry to have to write that, as I hate reading it on other people’s blogs) but that’s becuase I’ve been at work for Condé Nast Portƒolio and things have been a bit too busy there for me to keep up my normal pace of pitching and writing articles as a freelancer.

The good news is that I still have managed to contribute a small piece of analysis to Portfolio.com, launched today, the online companion to the print edition. I could try to describe it to you, but by the time I did that, I would’ve rewritten the whole thing. So why don’t you just click on the headline below and head on over to Portfolio.com to read it for yourself? It’s a really nice site, speaking as a former web developer, I’m really happy to see how nicely it turned out. Have a look:
