Traceability of Coltan Saving Toward New Ethics
 
 

This is the main reason why you shouldn't buy new computer as possible becasue to produce any computers and cellerphones have been used "Coltan". And the coltan is not only this offender, there are many causes on the others. We must care the coltan and dump, extream poverty to use our computers and cellers.

What is the critical source " Coltan"?

Coltan is the industrial name for columbite–tantalite, is kind of nick name of it, and all of computer, cellerphone have this coltan parts. If your computer don't have the coltan parts, you can't even meet your favorite desktop.


See the details on Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coltan

Why is the Coltan blamed?

Almost coltan have been produced by some mine in Africa, where are poor contries, and also they have been under civil war.


The sodiers get thier salary from the mining profits. By the benifits, they purchase own weapons including any land mine to use the war. Many children work minning the coltan under hard situations without any educations.


Therefore unless we desire needless new instruments, they would lose a source of funds and mine with child worker as well. The countries are able to stop the civil wars and could get a peace, moreover the children were in the mine will go to school, who make new interigent generation for stabilized own country.

 

Where is especially?

It's DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo)


By report of U.N. October.2002, Uganda, Rwanda, and Zambia have plundered the mineral resources in DRC, and the countries have stired up the tribal confrict.


"The insurgent troops earn their funds by thierselves" said Paul Kagame President of Rwanda. A leader of RCD, insurgent group with Rwanda supported confessed " We earn $200 thousands by diamond trade in a month each, but it's been a million dollars by Coltan"

Reason, shouldn't desert

Some people think all deserted computers and cellerphones are brung to recycle in anywhere.


The answer is NO.


Aithough some countries invented getting Gold or any other mine from the deserted computers, almost computers carry to poverty countries, all together the rest of getting mine out them go to there.


After the people who catch them as a fake recycle under the low technology, they try to get mine in the smoggy horrible situation comes out from the heated computer parts, and most adult and child workers contract a cancer of respiratory apparatus. thus we takes it for granted that the critic using kids as the worker without any educations.

And then they dump their parts was heated or not, into the river or land because they have no knowledge about saving environment, who don't know what will cause by their dump in the future.

So what we can do

So that we shouldn't buy new needless computer and cellerphone. If we can be patient to get needless new stuff, the dump could reduce with no doubt. This mean to reduce the suffers in poor country, moreover an environmental scream.

To reject new buy

We tcs, activity as computer repair service, and try to spread our active into the world. It's mainly important what tcs service shouldn't be expensive cost to repair, because basically you had better to purchase the new one on conition that your broken computer need to spend higher price than the cost buying new one.

For this reason, the approriate fixed price have to be released on you within TPO. And on our consideration, we had better asked ourselves when we purchase new computer...

  • Do you really need it?
  • Can you buy used one?
  • Can you be patient about the slow speed compare with price value?
  • Will your computer be able to earn the cost to buy new one in the future?
  • Do we permit the outrage of such African insurgent troopers?

Don't lose own materialistic desire !
