a bit more on Porter ( he's a techer btw ):

Porter has a number of papers he co-authored, you can search for them
via google

here's a video you may find interesting:

2) Earth day is nearing, thus you can expect the usual promotion of recycling
( i really don't know why it took so long to start doing this .. I suspect if copper 

and other metals get priced much higher we'll be mining old city dumps one day.. )

E-Waste Round-upDate: Friday April 20, 2012 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM 
Responsibly recycle your old electronic equipment at the Caltech Recycling Center.
