Bibliography - Green Machines

There appear to be very few "technical" references that provide a good background in this area, though I do remember reading one or two articles in newspapers about the problems in Silicon Valley as the result of waste from chip companies. Provided below is an initial set of references and a newsgroup paper which may be useful.

Intel Corp. has an "Environment, Health and Safety Report" that may be useful.

The RISKS bulletin board, recently made accessible from this set of pages, may contain some useful information on this topic. However, the key words "Green Machine" may not be the most suitable to find entries.

Finally, we do have a computer recycling company in our area -- R. Frazier, Inc. They used to have a home page on BEV but it is no longer there. I believe they are located in Salem VA.
