    • I remember seeing this pod a year or so ago, and now I work at a place like this making ebay auctions. They need to make recycling easier for everyone including smaller communities. Unfortunately the "American Way" involves making huge profits, so it will be a slow process as people figure it out. Hooray for recycling!

    • Seriously great stuff you are doing, especially for generations to come. It isn't about redemption, it's about responsibility. I know we can all do with a load of each!

      Never falter, never surrender, never stop dreaming a real dream.

      You all rock! Wes S.

    • I absolutely salute the work these people are doing. I come from a similar background. Focusing on creative projects has helped me stay positive in life as well. This story was even more of an inspiration to keep going.

      Thank you for sharing this video gem.

    • My wife and I found this story inspiring in so many ways. Congratulations to the people behind this amazing organization.

      This is true rehabilitation in every sense of the word.

      Although we live out in the midwest, if at all possible, we'll try to send you our old e-waste.

      Good luck to you! We hope that your message continues to get out and inspire others. Thanks for putting this out there for people to see.
