The 2010 Olympic Medals made from old computers

by David Allen on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

It is amazing really, when you think about the Olympics, top athletes and champions spring to mind, but to win a medal means that they are at the top of form and the best in the world. Therefore, at every Olympics the medals are designed to represent the games and the city where they are held.

This time the medals have been designed by Corrine Hunt and Omer Arbel, they have used recycled materials to make the gold, silver and bronze medals. These materials were at one time inside an electrical device such as a cell phone or computer.

    The Olympics are self destructive. With the threat of global warming we cannot afford such flagrant displays of excess and overconsumption. The best way to avoid 300,000 tons of emissions is for people to simply stay at home.

  • I think this has the potential to start a great trend in recycling, especially since it makes use of electronic waste--and we have plenty of that lying around!!
