Celebrating 10 years in business this January and marking the decade by committing to grow a greener world in 2012, the East Cape RV Resort has dedicated land to provide permanent recycling facilities for East Cape Recycling Baja. As demand and enthusiasm grew for the grassroots voluntary recycling program spearheaded by Lynn Mirassou the past two years, it was evident that in order to expand and offer more options for residents, guests, restaurants and even the schools, that a permanent facility was needed. Theresa Comber and Shaun Speer, owners of the newly expanded East Cape Casas & RV Resort are pleased and proud to provide the land in which East Cape Recycling Baja has constructed concrete containment areas for plastics, glass, cardboard/paper, and aluminum. If you would like to visit and see the new containment facilities, please stop by the East Cape Casas & RV Resort located in the heart of town, across the street from the Modelorama – look for the Sail fish
(Congratulations and thank you! 
)

The recent floods in Thailand are having a direct impact on computer users. The floods pretty much destroyed all the manufacturing capability of hard drives. That translates directly into increased prices of replacement hard drives, external hard drives and new computers. Hard drive prices have doubled!!! In a recent interview, the CEO of a major brand said it could take one year to regain normal production capacity. So, if you in the market for a new computer now is the time.
