No one, not even Al Gore, is more concerned about the Environment thAn Steve Dotto! So when Steve heard that this week is “Waste reduction Week” in Canada, he dedicated the entire show to supporting that theme. Steve takes us to several web sites that explain the concept of being “Carbon Neutral” where you can calculate your impact on the environment and, more importantly, what you can do to offset that impact.

And if you’ve ever had a yen to open your own cyber café, Steve takes a look at a public computing system developed by Userful, a Calgary based company supplies economical and environmentally responsible solutions for public access to the internet.

One of the biggest environment problems is what to do with all those empty ink cartridges, and Steve takes a look at HP’s innovative ink and toner cartridge recycling program.

Other web sites looked at in this episode include:
