Happy Earth Day! Here at PC Survivors we care deeply about the planet and creating a business that gives back to nature. That's why we are thrilled to share that we are partnering with One Tree Planted. Trees clean our air and water, create habitat for biodiversity, contribute to our health and wellbeing, and create jobs for social impact. We are honored to include supporting reforestation through One Tree Planted as an integral part of our business model.

PC Survivors would also like to remind you that E-waste in landfills and e-waste that is illegally dumped, releases toxic chemicals into every part of the environment, including lead, mercury, cadmium and brominated flame retardants. These substances travel through cracks in landfill liners and permeate nearby ground water. From there, local soil, plants and animals are contaminated. Serious health consequences develop in both humans and animals that consume the resulting tainted produce and meat.

Every one of us can play a role in solving the world’s e-waste problem. You can start by being more mindful when replacing equipment. Extending the lifespan of your technology can help control the rate at which e-waste is produced.

As the days get shorter and jack-o-lanterns are swapped out for hand drawn turkeys, our thoughts naturally turn to the holiday season. For most, Thanksgiving is a time to gather around the table with loved ones, share gratitude and, of course, a hearty meal. However, hackers and other malicious actors are thankful for something else. While you're contemplating whether to brine or deep-fry your turkey, they are plotting ways to take advantage of businesses who've inadvertently left them a buffet of data to help themselves to.
