STL celebrates Earth Day 2010!
Dear friend of Sky's the Limit,

STL celebrates the 40th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22nd, 2010! We are committed to the environment:

STL RecyclesThe Single Computer Effect
How does one computer from STL impact the security of our environment?

"The average 24 kg desktop computer with monitor requires at least 10 times its weight in fossil fuels and chemicals to manufacture. Moreover, researchers have found that manufacturing one desktop computer and 17-inch CRT monitor uses at least 240 kg of fossil fuels, 22 kg of chemicals and 1,500 kg of water - a total of 1.8 tonnes of materials." - United Nations University, 2004

This is significant considering an automobile or refrigerator only requires 1-2 times its weight in fossil fuels.

Assuming a 3-year life cycle for the computers donated through STL, the result is at least a 50% extension to the lifespan of the devices. This 50% increase in the useful life of the resources used to create the computer, translates to the following total savings contribution per 100 computers:
  •     2700kg of fossil fuels or about 3700L of gasoline
  •     250kg of chemicals
  •     16700kg of water consumption
We at STL hope that our efforts help re-enforce the importance of being environmentally responsible and that unlike their computers, that message lasts throughout the recipient's lifetime. More on STL's Environmental Impact!
