Europe Gets New Leadership, Ratifies POPS Treaty

BRUSSELS, Belgium, November 19, 2004 (ENS) – The European Union took two big steps in the past 24 hours. The Council of Ministers and Parliamentappointed a new executive branch under a new president, and the EU stepped up efforts to get rid of the world's most toxic chemicals by ratifying the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).

Parliament approved his lineup Thursday after President Barroso replaced three members of his original team, including an Italian conservative Catholic who was seen as too right-wing to become commissioner responsible for justice. Barroso offered his thanks on behalf of the whole Commission team for the vote of confidence. "We have a great deal of work to do, and we will now get down to it," he said.

New York City Schools Recycles Computers With Dell

The New York City Department of Education (DoE) is working with Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) to recycle more than 50,000 outdated pieces of computer equipment. In the largest single recycling project since Dell first launched the service in July 2003, the company is removing computer equipment from nearly 900 schools and administrative locations for recycling or reuse. Dell will refurbish 1,000 of these systems so New York City schools can use them in its Dell TechKnow program. The Dell Tech Know program partners with school districts, corporations and the community to enable "at-risk" or underserved middle school students an opportunity to earn a home computer and learn 21st century technology skills that promote self-esteem, academic success, and prepare them for opportunities in today's technology-driven world. New York DoE, the nation's largest school district serving 1.1 million students, needed a recycling partner to help it reduce costs by retiring outdated equipment that is too costly to repair and store. "We chose Dell for its end-to-end recycling capability, its asset management and repair services, so we could focus on our implementation of newer technology to serve our schools, teachers and students," said Charlie Niessner, chief information officer for the New York City DoE. Today's […]
