Local Initiatives
Toshiba's local environmental initiatives begin at a grassroots level. The company works hard to support a large range of local initiatives that will help reduce the impact of Toshiba's activities and enable the company to move towards a sustainable future.
Toshiba has introduced a series of initiatives that reduce the environmental impact of packaging and distribution.
These include:
- The use of recycled materials for packaging
- The PVC we use for packaging is recyclable
- Our shock-absorbing packaging (including foam) is recyclable
- We have reduced the amount of packaging in each laptop box, so we can now fit more boxes on a pallet. This means less space is required to ship laptops, helping to reduce the amount of fuel consumed getting our laptops to market.
- We have also replaced wooden pallets with cardboard ones because cardboard can be fully recycled.
Toshiba is also working on other initiatives that will help reduce the impact of the company's activities at the distribution, packaging and end-of-life stages.
Helping customers dispose of e-waste responsibly
Toshiba operates a program that helps customers in Australia and New Zealand do the right thing when they are disposing of unwanted Laptops or updating with new equipment. The e-CYCLE program both diverts waste from landfill and helps to reduce the wastage of valuable resources.

I have been taking photos ever since I received my first Kodak X-15 Instamatic Camera at the age of 10. In grade school, my best friend's father was a photographer, we got to "play" with cameras and in the darkroom. With camera in hand I was fortunate growing up to have traveled around the US more than most at an early age. Traveling gave me an appreciation for the world around me. I started seeing in a different way, different perspective and appreciating what I saw. As I got older I had the opportunity to travel a little bit overseas which opened up my eyes to other cultures and even more ways of seeing the world. Capturing these views and perspectives on film at first and now digital and sharing them is my passion. I am finally...

If you're still trying to clear stubborn errors from your credit reports, you're in luck. Your chances of finally getting those long-standing blemishes resolved are about to substantially increase -- as long as you've got the right documentation to prove they are real.
Continue Reading Below
Beginning later this year, the big three credit bureaus -- TransUnion, Experian and Equifax -- will, for the first time, begin scanning every document that you mail in, including the full text of your dispute letter and any evidence you send to back up your dispute.
The bureaus will then electronically transmit those documents to lenders and other data furnishers through an internal portal known as e-OSCAR (which the credit reporting agencies have long used to communicate disputes with lenders). That way, lenders will have a better idea of what exactly you're disputing.
"Thick or thin, regardless of whether it's a one-page letter or it's a thick stack of documentation that the consumer sends, that will be scanned and that will be made available to the lender," says Stuart Pratt, president of the Consumer Data Industry Association (CDIA), a trade group that represents the bureaus and also runs e-OSCAR. "If the consumer has something they want to say directly to his or her lender, we'll make sure that message is delivered."
Previously, credit bureaus sent lenders and other data furnishers a two- to three-digit code that categorized the dispute and, occasionally, a 100-character summary. (The codes will still be used in the new system, says Pratt, along with consumers' attachments.)
The bureaus didn't include consumers' evidence, such as loan statements or copies of identification, however, because e-OSCAR wasn't set up to accept them.
Consumer advocate victory The omission of consumers' documents drew strong criticism from consumer advocates who said credit bureaus are obligated by law to pass on any information that might be relevant to an investigation.
By leaving the documents out, consumer advocates said credit bureaus were making it much harder for lenders and other data furnishers to properly investigate a dispute -- particularly if the error was due to a mix-up in the lender's files and could be easily resolved by looking at a consumer's evidence.
"This is something that we have pointed out has been a flaw of e-OSCAR for years," says Chi Chi Wu, a staff lawyer at the National Consumer Law Center, who has repeatedly testified before Congress about the credit report dispute system. "The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that all information be sent from the credit reporting agency to the furnisher," says Wu. "The fact that they were not forwarding it, we thought it was a violation of the FCRA."
CFPB's reportWu says it's no coincidence that the year the industry finally fixed e-OSCAR so that it accepts consumer's documents is the same year the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) began regulating credit bureaus.
The CFPB formally began overseeing the credit reporting industry in September 2012, and published a comprehensive report on the credit bureaus' practices in December.
In that report, the CFPB publicly confirmed that the industry didn't forward consumers' documents because the e-OSCAR portal didn't have the technical capacity to do so.
The revelation that credit bureaus were leaving consumers' documents at the bureaus had previously been reported by media outlets (including CreditCards.com) and by consumer advocates, such as Wu. However, the fact that the disclosure came from a federal agency in a document that was explicitly written for the public made an impact, say experts.
"They kind of made it known that there's an issue with consumers' documents being irrelevant if they submit them," says John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at SmartCredit.com. "I think that woke up some folks in the know at the CDIA and at the bureaus." The bureaus realized that it would probably be a smart move to make before being made to do it by the CFPB, says Ulzheimer, who used to work in the credit reporting industry.
The CDIA's Stuart Pratt, however, disputes that timeline. He says the industry began talking about changing the system well before the CFPB showed up. "Interestingly enough, this idea has been in intensive discussion for the last 24 months," says Pratt.
According to Pratt, technological and security issues delayed the update. So, too, did the fact that until recently not all lenders and data furnishers were using e-OSCAR.
"We're the ones who started the dialogue," says Pratt. "The question was, would the data furnishers feel similarly?"
"There's the good news," he adds. "The response has been incredibly good ... Lenders have been enthusiastic about seeing the documentation with the hope that if they're not getting it right, the documentation will help them even further."
Even if lenders aren't enthusiastic about the new technology, they won't have a choice about using the system. "When the system goes live, the lender is obligated to click on the link and look at the document," says Pratt.
Debate remains over industry's practices Regardless of who prompted the change and when, analysts are split over just how effective the update to e-OSCAR will be, particularly for consumers who are victims of what industry insiders call a "mixed file."
"The information will allow furnishers to better be able to resolve the disputes," says Wu -- if the error started with the furnisher and the furnisher is willing to properly investigate it. Wu points to debt collectors as an example of a data furnisher who may not be willing to play by the rules.
However, "the mixed file errors are completely the fault of the credit reporting agency," says Wu, "And it's not going to be fixed by better documentation."
That's because mixed files -- in which information that doesn't belong to a consumer shows up on his or her reports -- often occur as a result of identification errors at the bureaus, says Wu.
For example, credit reporting agencies use only part of a consumer's Social Security number -- rather than all nine digits -- to match consumers to an account. As a result, consumers with similar names and Social Security numbers sometimes get matched to the wrong account.
"Ultimately, the credit bureau has an independent duty to conduct its own investigation, to review the facts and make its own assessment," she says.
Bureaus just shifting burden of responsibility? Rahul Sharma of College Station, Texas, can testify to the frustration of trying to clear his credit reports of information that did not belong to him. A recent college grad, Sharma spent six years trying to scrub accounts and Social Security numbers that weren't his from his credit reports. "Everything was incorrect," he says.
Sharma included with his disputes copies of his Social Security card, driver's license and passport in order to prove his identity. However, it wasn't until he enlisted the help of a lawyer that he was able to get the errors removed.
Sharma is skeptical of the industry's latest push to forward documents onto a lender since he believes the credit bureaus are just shifting the burden. "If they find an error on their side, they should fix it," says Sharma.
Ulzheimer is more optimistic. In cases where a consumer's identity has been mixed up with someone else's, he says consumers will likely have an easier time getting errors resolved. "I don't know that you'll see fewer incidences of the problem, but you'll see fewer instances of the consumer being unable to correct it," he says.
That's particularly true for cases where a consumer has been mistakenly declared dead by a third party or has been mixed up with a relative with the same name.
"It's pretty easy to verify who you are," says Ulzheimer. "Think about the massive amount of information you get every single month that validates that you're alive, that you are who you say you are and it's coming from a reputable source."
The credit reporting industry's new system won't solve everything, however. But, "it's a step in the right direction," says Ulzheimer. "And, quite frankly, I think the CDIA and the credit industry gets a bad rep and sometimes I think it's unfair. They're not handling a dozen eggs. They're handling a trillion eggs, so mistakes are going to happen."

Can you just love him anymore? Adam is so great with his answers. We got a little bit about the album Yeah a little funk, and prob a bit of everything. That is what makes Adam's music interesting beside that amazing voice. He said his album is good, of course! He has the name picked out already. I am flailing with excitement!!!!
- July 16, 2011 at 3:44 PM
After the drought there is a storm. A huge one is just beginning. So sweet of Adam to give himself to us in a busy time with a twitter party!!!
- July 16, 2011 at 3:46 PM

- July 16, 2011 at 3:58 PM
Title of CD could be title of first single! Single might be ready, then! {crosses fingers} :)
- July 16, 2011 at 4:03 PM
Can't believe he's preggers \o/ :-D
- July 16, 2011 at 4:08 PM
Loved, do you hang out with PH alot? nope. he is in NY for bizzness, hmmmm, as a guest judge somewhere? Adam so classy . I don't think I have a least favorite on his album.Thanks for the nice Saturday evening party Adam.
- July 16, 2011 at 4:09 PM
Awww Adam, you are so sweet to give your fans a Twitter party. Great and to the point answers in his usual witty style! Just what we needed as a great Pick Me Up LOl!
- July 16, 2011 at 4:22 PM
Thank you! I missed the Twitter party AGAIN, but having this posted makes me feel better (:
- July 16, 2011 at 4:24 PM
I prepare. I create. I love. THUD!!
- July 16, 2011 at 4:24 PM
I sent Adam a tweet yesterday asking him to throw us a bone, video, jingle. etc. We were missing him. Don't think he read it, but fun to think he did. Came in late to the twitter party by accident, nice of him to come out and play with us with all he has to do.Thanks for putting questions with Adam's tweeted answers! funbunn40
- July 16, 2011 at 4:28 PM
All songs on FYE are my favorites..all songs Adam sings are my favs
- July 16, 2011 at 4:50 PM
I love ALL of Adams songs on all his CDs and I'm now reading this thread while listening to my NEW Nikka Costa CD that I purchased today the old fashioned way in a record store. Some of her work is really outstanding and has that old Motown/funk sound. I know she's been singing since she was a child and she does have an old soul sound probably from being around all those talented adults. I'm really liking her.
- July 16, 2011 at 5:01 PM
Of all the things Adam said during the Twitter Party, I think these six words:
"I prepare. I create. I love."
..will because one of those iconic phrases that we will speak and think of Adam. When you think about it, that IS what he does, and can apply to each and every one of us as well. What else do we need, really??? Wow.
- July 16, 2011 at 5:06 PM
By the way, I'm thinking my friend @remavineyard is still in complete and utter shock that Adam answered her tweet. One just never knows!
- July 16, 2011 at 5:09 PM
Adam is a very wise human being and that's one of the reasons I respect and love him so much.
- July 16, 2011 at 5:10 PM
Love the twitter party, it makes him seem so close, like a friend...
OT, saw this video last night, and thought several people on here would appreciate it, its set to Edge of Glory.
- July 16, 2011 at 5:35 PM
Since Adam asked, the song I like least or should say not as well as all the others is 'If I Had You'.
- July 16, 2011 at 6:07 PM
sex with female question again. does he like it? funny as hell!!!! shaking his head in disbelief.
- July 16, 2011 at 6:14 PM
Now where did that photo come from? What a sweet face, what I can see of it. The party was fun to read about, sometimes I forget that he is aware that there are thousands of us interested in his life and welfare. HK fan it does make him sound like a friend. Or in my case a friend's grandson!.......................JAK
- July 16, 2011 at 6:15 PM
He is going to try it out like riding a new bike or something!
- July 16, 2011 at 6:15 PM
These twitter parties make it seems like Adam is right in the room with us. What great answers! Witty and quick, insightful and honest. What a doll. I'm saving up my 2012 tour money!
- July 16, 2011 at 6:22 PM
is he trying sex with females in the future? hmmm he says you should try something at least once. Maybe one time with Kesha would fix his curiosity.
- July 16, 2011 at 6:24 PM
Perhaps it would be interesting to ask ourselves that question......."JAK what do you do everyday?"..........The first thing that came to my mind is ...... "I appreciate..I worry..I love"
Of course 20-30-40 years ago my answers might have been different. Maybe....but maybe not!
- July 16, 2011 at 6:31 PM
Adam should do a photoshoot dressed as Cleopatra. I could see him pulling off the sexy eye makeup for that one.
- July 16, 2011 at 7:02 PM
How lucky we have Adam. He is so gifted and thoughtful and honest. Never have a dull moment. His tweets is like a reflection of him.
- July 16, 2011 at 7:07 PM
Thanks for all the twitter feed. We all needed some Adam very badly. I must say I like hair off face, upswept, very sexy. Nary a mention of Sauli, so assume you both are keeping your relationship under wraps for the time being. probably smart. Looking forward to next tour very much.
- July 16, 2011 at 7:43 PM
Sorry I missed the party, so happy that I can see all of the Q&A's here though.
Least favorite song on FYI was "Soaked". Didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the album. 1st fav "FYE" 2nd "Loaded Smile"
Love how honest he is and seems to really relate to us and realize that we are all hanging on every word he speaks!
- July 16, 2011 at 8:07 PM
When I heard that Sacha Barry Cohen was going to have the role of Freddie Mercury in the new film I let out an anquished wail "Nooooooooooo!"
I had been dreaming of Adam as Freddie since Idol. Sacha looks more like Freddie but those songs, those songs should be Adams! My present go to favorite of Freddie's is "Don't Stop Me Now" I watch the video several times a week and can SEE Adam in black leather with a band as fantastic as Queen tearing up the stage with that song. If you aren't familiar with it or haven't heard it in a long time the link is below. Treat yourself. Adam can do Freddie's swagger!..............................JAK
- July 16, 2011 at 8:28 PM
This was so much fun to read. I love it when he has twitter parties! He loves his fans and he knows we love the twitter parties! Thanks, Adam! We Glamberts adore you!
- July 16, 2011 at 8:37 PM
The dry spell is over!
- July 16, 2011 at 8:59 PM
OT but maybe some1 wanna see it

- July 16, 2011 at 9:17 PM
I love "Soaked"!Sad,but beautiful;not sure if I have a least fav from FYE..I'll have to think about it.
- July 16, 2011 at 10:16 PM
to 7:43- I think maybe there was a sneaky mention of Sauli in the "I love" sentence. Nice to see it was left at that.
- July 16, 2011 at 11:07 PM
Kennedy's loquacious
- July 16, 2011 at 11:11 PM
I think he said in the previous Twitter party that he has at some point in his life "slept" with a woman. Whatever that means. But he has also said (about women) in an interview that "unless you've got a surprise under that skirt it ain't happening". He's gay and he's been very open about it. I think he's teasing his fans with these answers, he knows people are gonna talk.
I loved the part "I prepare.I create. I love." That's his everyday life. He didn't stay in NYC for very long, back in Hollywood now, with his love. :)
- July 16, 2011 at 11:21 PM
Thanks 24/7 for putting the twitter party up!
Oh Adam! What a charming young man! There is NOT one single song that is my least favorite, every song has it's meaning & to just hear Adam sing is a blessing , a gift for us all!
I feel like we're having a very serious romantic relationship with Adam , whether its love, fantasy, or friendly. I have never seen this with any actor or entertainer.
One thing I agree with Adam , I love his Owens boots too. But I don't think an occult is sexy, like wtf? Unless he's thinking of something different than what I'm thinking .
I wish he'd stop teasing us about his next album, it makes me squirm, but in a very good way! Hehe! Mwah!! K
- July 17, 2011 at 12:54 AM
He is just so interesting! My least favourite song changes every week according to my mood that is all!!
I think he probably chooses not to answer any sauli questions as I am sure there are many.
Adam needs to do twitter parties in different time zones as well as I keep missing. Damn! I want to ask if he needs a personal assistant. LOL
- July 17, 2011 at 3:32 AM
I wish Adam will come here and do a 24/7 party!
I think this site will crash and Sister won't be efficient enough to do her roll calls. Don't worry Sister, I volunteer to be your assistant, I have experience in this area of work. Lol, :)
So what do you say Adam, just half an hour? And sing, sing for us! Ooooh....
-Lam my
- July 17, 2011 at 4:14 AM
The Twitter party was fun! The first time I was awake when he decides to have one. There were a lot of Sauli questions for him in Twitter, wise of him to keep some things private. But he did say his daily routines include "love". Sweet.
I wondered too about the occult answer, but maybe he just meant that he finds mysterious, supernatural etc. stuff sexy? Just guessing here, don't really know that means.
One of the highlights of the party was the sentence "I prepare, I create, I love". It has already become a "classic". lol. Another highlight was the fact that he's got a name for his album picked. Nice! Oh,and he sleeps "au natural"... ;)
- July 17, 2011 at 4:37 AM
I think Adam had about 12 good singles off of his first album, I was frustrated that they didn't play more on the radio. People who don't know Adam like we do think that he can only sing "Whataya Want From Me". It gets repetitious after a while.
It doesn't even matter which 2 songs weren't my favorites, because as I read these comments, they were someone else's favorites. There wasn't a lemon in the bunch.
"I prepare. I create. I love." Yeah, I love that. I think it should go across the bottom of all Adam Lamber posters.
Oh, and I love the video set to the Gaga song. I wish more people would get to see it, like on National TV.
- July 17, 2011 at 4:57 AM
So darn eloquent and masterfully answered.

I second that @Lam my- adam doing a twitter party somehow with us. I honestly feel this whole glamily HERE is a huge core. I wonder if he knows about us and this website. It's different from twitter. We get deep. we know everything, we understand and love him, like no others out there Just my opinion or maybe we just voice our opinions like no other web-site I've seen?

actually when adam replied to a tweet with "Freddie Mercury, Cleopatra", the question was if he could interview anyone, who it would be.
- July 17, 2011 at 3:39 PM
In my opinion, he probably visit this site once in a while and check all his loyal fans indeed....
- July 17, 2011 at 4:25 PM
Yea brownie, that will send us all, over the moon and back, whoa! Agree...we get deep.
Hey dear 4:25, you really feel that Adam peeks in once in a while. Even if he doesn't, I think maybe Neil does because he has a google blog.

I adore all Adam's songs! However, when you see Adam perform these songs live, it's a whole other thing! Adam is the greatest live performer in the world! He can sell any song with his fabulous voice and, of course, his fabulous moves and charisma! Born to be on stage-that's our boy!

@Lam my
Sister, here. Just stopped by to evaluate your roll call process and efficiency. I see you have done very well. And YOUR enthusiam is to be commended. I hereby pass the roll call baton to you. You have been promoted from assistant to lead. Effective immediately I will be retiring my roll call responsibilities and am heading to Florida to party with @JAK!
Keep up the good work! :)
- July 18, 2011 at 9:54 AM
Now that I've been promoted by Sister to head of roll call, thanks Sister, fastest promotion I ever had but not to be scoffed at...
I'd like to include Fan4fun+Icon and Kentucky Fan, who I chatted with, they are somewhere in the camp; and thanks Nancdruuu2 who just reported in. LOL!
Hey Sister, I thought it was just play but there is quite a bit of work involved !! I think I still need your help. LOL!
-Lam my
- July 18, 2011 at 7:29 PM
@Lam my
I trust that you are the person for the job! But, now that you are the roll call boss, you can mentor others and promote as you see fit. You have the power! :)
- July 18, 2011 at 11:54 PM
Now that is some wisdom I'd say!
Hey Congratulations Boss, I overheard someone proposing to you, behind the grapevines! Whoa!!
-Lam my
- July 19, 2011 at 12:21 AM
@Lam my
Yup. Proposed to. Of course, they didn't identify themselves which makes it a really difficult partnership. LOL
- July 19, 2011 at 10:12 AM
@ Sister
Sometimes being loved from afar is wisest! JAK
You know, passionate unrequited love! :-)
- July 19, 2011 at 12:20 PM
I will take whatever kind of love comes my way! LOL So true...passionate unrequited can sometimes be best. :)
- July 19, 2011 at 6:52 PM
Unrequited love can be extremely painful, JAK. I feel love must be reciprocated, whatever kind.
Since both you and Sister are here...I got a listen to Besame Mucho, ooooh so beautiful, sung by Chris Isaac and by Andrea Bocelli. Yea, I had been listening to Chris Isaac first and now Bocelli. I think you are more attached to the Chris Isaac version maybe because of the Mona Lisa Smile film. I find both versions equally good. I actually imagined Adam singing Besame Mucho, whoa if only....

Thomas Jefferson collected maps throughout his lifetime, amassing a collection of more than 350 maps, navigational charts, city plans, and writings on the subject of geography. His father Peter Jefferson was a skilled surveyor, who along with Joshua Fry, produced what came to be known as the Fry-Jefferson map of Virginia in 1752. Jefferson called his father's work "the 1st accurate map of Virginia which had ever been made." A competent surveyor himself, Jefferson strove to make a contribution to the emerging science of geography with his authorship of Notes of the State of Virginia (and its accompanying map.)
As Jefferson traveled through Europe, he collected maps and integrated them into his notes in his travel log. He advised other travelers to "buy beforehand a map of the country you are going into." In April 1791 Jefferson lent his collection of city plans to Pierre Charles L'Enfant to aid in his planning of the federal city of Washington D.C.
During the years of his presidency, Jefferson displayed "maps, globes and charts around the walls" of his Cabinet at the President's House. As he traveled very rarely during this time, his map collecting shifted from city plans and road maps, to wall maps. According to an inventory made by Jefferson's daughter Martha Randolph following his death, at least eight engraved wall maps hung in the Entrance Hall at Monticello: "Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Map of the World, United States (and) 2 of Virginia."

The robot Halloween costume. It's classic, right? It's one of those costumes you can make at the last minute, and still look great — some cardboard boxes and whatever random junk glued on as knobs, levers, and screens. Spray paint the whole thing silver, and you're done!
Illustrator Elena Nazzaro transformed her three kids into fabulous robots for Halloween 2010, inspired by the music video below. A trio of robots — adorable!
