the beat goes on.

It’s never been easier to purchase and listen to all the music the world has to offer. If you have a craving for a new sound, consider purchasing digital music instead of a CD. American consumers buy about a billion CD’s every year, most which eventually end up in landfills or incinerators. Since CDs are a mix of polycarbonate, plastic and aluminum, they don’t easily break down and are not easily recycled. They are also not biodegradable, so they won’t break down in landfills. When CD’s are incinerated they release toxic fumes into the air. Digital music is easy to buy and to dispose of. If you’re ready to ditch yesterday’s favorite song or album you can simply drag the music file to the trash instead of clogging up a landfill.
