The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

One topic that I would like to hear mentioned in your next podcast is the huge outcry that has occurred with DirecTV's rollout of the 6.3a software for the HD TiVo. An enormous number of people, myself included, are experiencing 10 second audio dropouts (mutes) on OTA channels, most often with FOX stations. Why it affects FOX more than others is not known, but the other channels are not totally immune either. It varies from city to city.
I was so annoyed by this that I reformatted my TiVo drive and rolled back to the old (3.1.5f) software. That fixed it.
Much more about this can be found over in the TiVo Community Forums (more than any human could ever read!)
