April 22nd is Earth Day and a good reason to take a look at how companies, large and small, are responding to the need to make our earth a healthier planet.  The National Cristina Foundation has always advocated for responsible technology reuse, followed by equally responsible recycling.  There is no shortage of news stories regarding e-waste and irresponsible disposal of electronic equipment, including computers.  

This article from GreenBiz.com is a compilation of responses from companies around the world in regards to their approach to e-waste today and everyday.  Results have been grouped by similar program types as revealed from the multiple interviews.
