The transition to digital television is creeping up on us, and with it the possibility of tons of electronic waste. As long as Congress doesn't postpone the switch to June, a move that the Obama administration is pushing for, the changeover will happen on February 17th.
Delaying that deadline could give state governments more time to implement e-waste recycling legislation. It could also give the federal government the chance to pass a law that makes it impossible for companies to just ship the defunct devices overseas.
To learn more about the problem (and some solutions), check out this story I wrote for Sprig.
