On an unrelated note, there was a company that was touting an unbreakable cell phone and let a number of reporters do things like hammer in nails with it, showing the cell phones strength.

I agree with you and Tiger, companies need to think about and offer more programs that allow people to easily dispose of their old or broken products. What of the CES itself? Did it claim to be green in the way it was set up or run this year?

Yes- at least the companies understand that they need to use their resources more efficiently now. I think realizing that is the first steps towards a better movement because they are practicing social responsibility and understand that their effects on the environment are drastic.

I think you bring up an important point that even assuming that the new products are manufactured in a more environmentally friendly way, the old ones must still be disposed of. If this means, for example, that millions of TVs end up in landfills, than much of the benefit of a green alternative is negated.

When it came time for a BBC reporter to give it a whack, he broke it with three hits to the edge of a Fish Tank, making for some very amusing TV…
