Pimp My IPod- Salvaging Gadgets Instead of Chucking Them
Today's show is all about keeping gadgets out of landfills. The company we are talking to takes broken or returned MP3 players, phones, PDAs, and IPods, restores them, and sells them for less. With so many of our old electronics being thrown away each year, which is known as E Waste, Dyscern is making money from converting that waste into more affordable products for consumers.
