When we decided to create some medals of recognition for our Everyday #GreenHeroes video and recognition campaign, we knew they had to be special. So we sent our Green Deal craftsman out to Sims Recycling, to source some actual recycled circuit boards for the medal bases. Each was hand cut and sanded, then mounted with a laser-etched Green Heroes disc.

The individual circuit boards came primarily from hard drives and computer motherboards, and each is unique and beautiful in its own way.
“My favourite is the one actually marked ‘Apple Computer’, coming from a 2001-era machine,” says Green Deal video host Lorne Craig, “I may have actually used one of these computers back in the day!”
Check out the Vine video below to see the metal jigsaw blade cutting through the boards in ultra-slow-motion. And watch as we hand out medals and gift cards in our Everyday #GreenHeroes contest for Earth Month 2014.
