Goal For The Green

On April 2,2009, ATP’s Earth Drive opened in Sunnyvale, CA with great success.  ATP®, is a leading flash memory manufacturer known for its high quality, durable memory solutions. They continue building upon the success of Project:Earth Drive with this year’s Earth Day celebration.

Entering its second year, Project:Earth Drive, a reforestation program initiated in conjunction with a partnership with American Forests, continues garnering attention from supporters of the cause who are concerned about the state of the environment.

Founded in 1991, ATP is a leading manufacturer of high performance and durable flash memory solutions as well as DRAM memory module products. With strictly regulated ISO 9001 certified facilities and advanced technologies in memory packaging, testing and qualification, ATP offers a broad range of the highest quality DRAM memory products for mission critical applications such as server blade, workstation, network communication, and embedded systems. ATP flash media products offer protection from water/moisture, dust, static discharge, and extreme temperatures.

“Since the launch of our EarthDrive USB series, more and more corporations, organizations, and educational institutions have come to us with interests in supporting the program,” said Michael Plaksin, ATP Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Earth Day should serve as a reminder for all of us to examine what we have done in conserving the environment. Through this program, we continue to inspire and motivate everyone to take part in this critical global effort.”

Contest

ATP is also calling for personal stories about planet preservation as part of its 2009 Earth Day celebration. Personal accounts about ways to help preserve and enhance the environments can be emailed to earthdrive@atpinc.com. Every week throughout the month of April, ATP is giving away one 2GB EarthDrive to the winner. Every winning story will be posted at their site.

“Through this contest, we want to show our appreciation and encourage even more people to join the momentum and support the cause.” The ATP Earth Drive was also recently chosen by OverClockersHQ to receive the Editors’ Choice Award. “It looks like earth friendly doesn’t necessarily mean “hippie grade”… I am very impressed; the ATP [EarthDrive] was quite literally off the charts for performance in the low level bench mark,” said Justin Desjardins of OverClockersHQ.com.

“Every day, people around the world are taking simple steps in their daily lives to make a difference in their environment. As simple as these actions may seem, they are actually significant, because collectively, the impact is so powerful,” Plaksin continued.

Through Project: Earth Drive, each Earth Drive sold will contribute towards American Forests’ Global ReLeaf projects. American Forests’ Global ReLeaf projects allow for tree planting throughout the United States as well as on a global basis to offset our carbon footprint and replenish the environment. With the launch of this important program, ATP has already helped plant thousands of trees on a National and International basis. American Forests already planted more than 25 million trees through over 500 projects on a global basis.

There is no disputing the impact of technology on our everyday lives.  Almost everyone these days is connected to some type of electronic device.  If they are not, they are exposed to some form of technological convenience on a daily basis.  Anything from your microwave, cell phone and computers, use radio frequency waves, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The question remains, is this harmful?

Please take the time to watch this startling video segment which just aired on the Australian version of “60 Minutes” about Cell Phones and Brain Cancer. This may be a true “wake up call” for those that still question whether EMR is potentially harmful to your health.

My goal is only to bring you current information on this topic, not to use scare tactics. After all, it is your body, your health and your decision to make, if you feel this is a concern to you.  However, if you or the teenager’s in your home, are always on their cell phone, computer, or plugged-in to some electronic device, you may want to consider some form of protection from EMR.

I certainly am not giving up the use of my cell phone, or the convienences offered by the advances of technology.  However, I do use the biopro chips, throughout my home on electronic devices.  I would rather attempt to be safe, than a sorry statistic.  I hope you agree.
