This site has many interesting facts about how we are destroying our Earth. I think some of this information would be very useful during the "shock and awe" introduction.

You should actually recycle them because a lot of these devices contain toxic materials like lead, cadmium, and mercury which could lead to even larger environmental hazards.

I wonder if fusion as an energy source does not make the news as often as other alternative fuel because it is harder to grasp by the general public. Scientists seem to think that it is a safe, sustainable, powerful fuel source. However, I would like to research more into this process. I would also like to find out how similar this process is to that used in the nuclear power plants that are in use today.
