  • Saving the World, One Zune at a time... 0 comments
    Jun 23, 2009 04:50 PM | about stocks: MSFT, AAPL

    Did you know that buying and using a Zune is saving the world?  (not just the Zune, but an Ipod, or any other MP3 player)

    My Zune 80 holds 177 albums as of right now.  If I had to buy all of those albums think of all the packaging waste that would come with those. 

    cdrecyclingcenter.com says that MILLIONS of plastic CD's are thrown away every year! 

    Don't get me wrong, millions if not billions of CD's are 'reused' by the used CD market, you only have to visit ebay to see the huge amount of numbers of music and other types of CDs being reused.  That is Great, but eventually they will end up in the trash.

    On the other had, not many Zunes end up in the trash, you can still sell a broken Zune for a good amount, I sold a broken iphone for $200 that I washed in the washing machine (long story)

    If i washed a CD would anyone pay me $1 for it?  I think not.

     

    Just think about, save some packaging, buy a Zune instead of a CD.

     

    I am long MSFT.
