Help Someone; Give Them Your Old PC
So you’ve gotten the latest, greatest PC and your old one is heading off to the recycling station. You feel you are doing good by recycling the PC. But before you do, take a look at what really happens when a computer goes to get recycled.
There is a better alternative. Ever heard of Ubuntu? It’s a version of Linux that you can use to pretty much do anything you can on Windows. And best of all, it is free.
Local charities and those who cannot afford a computer would benefit greatly from an older PC coupled with Ubuntu. So, go ahead and download a copy of Ubuntu, install it on your old PC, then give it to someone who could use it. What better way to simplify life than to get more use out of something?
