[Article from the Austin Chronicle, May 2006] This isn't a prop from a Tim Burton flick. It's a piece of Green Art made out of discarded computer components and driftwood by local artist George Sabra. It's meant to signify the scary things that can happen when the toxic innards of old electronics spill out, as they often do in the unsafe salvage and disposal that's happening in U.S. prisons and throughout the third world. The piece was on display at the World Congress on Information Technology Gala last week, bearing this message: "Not all electronic waste will become art … For the rest, there should be producer take-back recycling." Texas Campaign for the Environment's Robin Schneider, who's also vice-chair of the Computer TakeBack Campaign – which coaxed Dell, HP, and, most recently, Apple to institute free e-recycling – said that passers-by, including industry heavies, seemed to like the artwork. The TakeBack Campaign's goal is to get computer makers to stop designing for obsolescence and to factor in recycling costs initially. The campaign has also partnered with the Basel Action Network to stop the flow of toxic e-waste to poorer nations.
