“The ATP 8GB EarthDrive it touted to be the first earth-friendly USB flash drive in the world, but I am rather skeptical of the whole green idea – I’ll get back to my beef later after describing the ATP 8GB EarthDrive. This diminutive storage device is said to be shock-, water- and dust-proof, featuring pre-loaded securty software, drive partitioning, password protection, and 8GB of storage space. It is also manufactured from bio-recycled plastics and can be recycled at the end of its life cycle as well. Oh yeah, not to mention each $48 purchase will see a portion of the proceeds go to a tree-planting program. Back to my doubts about such a device – how many people actually take the trouble to recycle their USB flash drive once it has given up the ghost? Not to mention, the USB flash drive isn’t exactly disposed off on a large scale basis each day.”
