The objective of the Facts and Figures project is to disseminate information about the critical role that the high technology industry plays in modern society and how we are addressing key environmental challenges. These powerpoint presentations have been prepared for reference and presentation use.

1. High Tech Innovation Drives Sustainable Development (.ppt)
   Slide set provides many examples of social, environmental, and economic benefits that high technology brings to society.
   
   
2. The US High Technology Industry and Electricity Demand (.ppt) 
   Highlights high tech's relatively small contribution to electricity demand and potentially huge contribution to improving energy efficiency.
   
   
3. Environmental Stewardship in Electronics: Chemicals and Materials in Production Processes
   Highlights the necessary and responsible use of lead in solder in electronics products.
   • Lead Use in Electronics
   • Brominated Flame Retardant (BFR) Use in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
     
     
4. High Technology Industry Use of Chemicals in Products (.ppt)
   Focusing primarily on semiconductor industry, highlights the highly controlled used of chemicals in production, leading to de minimis environmental and human exposure.
   
   
5. A Shared Responsibility Approach for Minimizing Impacts Posed by Electronics Products (.ppt)
   Puts the end-of-life electronics issue in context and makes the case for a shared-responsibility approach.
