I wrote a story about it awhile ago if you're interested! <a href="http://www.emagazine.com/view/?4459" rel="nofollow">http://www.emagazine.com/view/?4459</a> Another thing that's interesting and that the EPA is pushing is urban mining, which is taking the precious metals out of recycled cell phones.
