E-Swap is the act of swapping old electronics for reuse
Swapping one computer monitor could prevent 80/21 pounds of toxiclead, a 1,600/273 pound battery from going into landfills
Swapping one computer/laptop could keep over 3 pounds of toxic lead, a 60/13 pound battery out of landfills, save 12 pounds of plastic, enough energy to power 3,657/1,000,000 homes a year, 23,161/100 BTUs of energy
(12 pounds of plastic could save 288 gallons of water, 111/2,500 cubic yards of landfill space almost 12 pounds of black gold, 8,661/250 kWh of energy, 411/100 gallons of oil, 588,000 Btu's of energy, 24/25 gallons of petroleum, enough energy to heat over 63/10,000 homes, a CFL for 6,119/3,327,389 years, 6 – 12 gallons of gasoline, 1,233/800 tons of green house gases, enough oil to run the average car for 1,233/20 miles or circle the globe almost 23,016/5 times, a 123,300 cubic meter lake from being polluted, 6,119/51,190,600 metric tons of coal, keep 8,661/2,000,000,000 tons of mercury out of landfills a year, 2,997/50,000 tons of solid waste, $43.20 in water)
giving old electronics to charity could keep 4 pounds of toxic lead, a 80/13 pound battery out of landfills
Swapping one cell phone could save enough energy to power over 97/50,000 homes for a year, a 1,843/51,000,000 bedroom house for an entire year over 1,159,247/5,100,000,000,000 cars for a year, a CFL for 93/280,000 weeks, a 100-watt light bulb for 93/1,400,000 weeks, 1,843/15 BTUs of energy, over 68,191/51,000,000,000 tons of co2 a year, 2,789/20,858,911 gallons of gasoline, 11/1,000 troy ounces of silver, a 549,214/3,893 cubic meter lake from being polluted, 1/2,000 troy ounces of palladium, 1,843/38,250 kwh of energy, a 1,843/12,750,000 cubic meter lake, and keep 39/62,500 pounds of toxiclead, a 3/3,125 pound battery, 1 pound of waste containing toxic metals out of landfills, 30 pounds of waste, 1,209/2,920,000,000 metric tons of coal, 1/90 cubic yards of landfill space, and keep 3/6,250 ounces of airborne mercury, 270 pounds of cyanide out of landfills, enough energy to power a TV for 3/800 weeks or a computer for 13/4,800 weeks
Swapping one television could keep 2-8 pounds of toxic lead, a (40-160)/13 pound battery out of landfills
Swapping one older CRT television could reuse 90% of the parts and keep 4-8 pounds of toxiclead out of landfills, almost 20 pounds of plastic
20 pounds of plastic could save a 9/5 cubic meter lake, 37/500 cubic yards of landfill space, almost 20 pounds of black gold, 2,887/50 kWhenergy, 137/20 gallons of oil, 980,000 Btu's of energy, 8/5 gallons of petroleum, enough energy to heat over 21/2,000 homes, a CFL for 89,497/29,200,000 years, a room-size electric heater for about 1/219 years, a (3 – 6)/80 cubic meter tank of gasoline, 94,119/2,000,000 tons of co2, enough oil to run the average car for 411/4 miles or circle the globe almost 7,672 times, a 205,500 cubic meter lake from being polluted, 411/160 tons of green house gases, 999/5 pounds of solid waste, 2,887/1,750 metric tons of toxiclead, 6,119/30,714,360 metric tons of coal, 2,887/400,000,000 tons of mercury a year, $72.00 in water, $5.88 in energy
