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)

Unfortunately, this isn't the case. In film, yes, most 35mm film is in a widescreen format. However, if it's simply recorded to tape (as most TV shows are, since it's a heckuva lot cheaper to film and edit), then it's usually 4:3 unless filmed in HD.
Personally, when available, I *usually* use the option to stretch 4:3 content. It's just not noticeable on shows like Colbert Report. Of course there are huge exceptions, like the screencap above, but I find it rather humorous that people rally around 16:9 as the be-all end-all of human existence, when widescreen is merely just the result of film manufacturers attempting to save money (they squashed the vertical aspect since frames are connected vertically in order to fit more frames/time in a smaller amount of film). Don't get me wrong, I'm all for higher resolution images, and for choice, but coming from a more PC-oriented than TV-oriented background, my 720p tv is a step down for PC gaming from my 17" monitor, though it's nice to sit across the room and play.
