		<description><![CDATA[Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar is sponsoring legislation with bipartisan support to fund research on reducing e-waste ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>National e-waste laws could take a big leap forward soon if Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn) gets her way. Sponsoring a bill with bipartisan support, Chris Newmarker of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reports that the legislation would improve the recycling of electronic devices by funding.research on better product designs, recycling technology and hazardous materials disposal practices. <a href="http://twincities.bizjournals.com/twincities/stories/2009/09/28/daily7.html"> Read the whole story from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal here.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/blog/top-list-for-the-week-of-december-7-2008"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-326" title="amy_klobuchar" src="http://grenk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/amy_klobuchar.jpg" alt="amy_klobuchar" width="389" height="400" /></a> Best Buy is a strong supporter of Klobuchar, which has made great efforts to help people recycle their e-waste correctly through their stores nationwide. </p>
<p>From the story:  “Technology continues to advance, but our ways of disposing of electronic equipment haven’t kept up,” Klobuchar aid. “Many states, including Minnesota, are leading the way, but we need a national solution to ensure that all unwanted electronics are discarded in a safe and responsible manner.”</p>
