Love your current computer, buying a new computer isn't always a good thing.

The above video encourages you to 'love the one your with,' as in love your current computer and avoid the urge to buy a new one.  Why?  Well, it takes more energy to make a new computer than your current one will use in 10 years.  Are you sure that there's nothing more you can do to speed up or upgrade your current computer?  Are you absolutely not able to use your current computer?  I'm not saying that you should never buy a new computer.  I'm only suggesting that you truly think about whether you need a new one, or if you can productively use the one you have.  If you can't, then by all means, buy a new one!

Perhaps the following talking points from lovethe1yourwith.com will help you in your decision.

• The energy required to produce a new computer is enough to run a computer for 10 years
• The energy saved by extending the life of your computer by a year could run it for 2 years
• 220 million tons of e-Waste are generated annually in the USA
