eWaste action blog

I feel that it is not necessary to take action in this matter. who is telling the people in india to break down the parts from old computers and cell phones. most of this waste is very similar to that of general garbage in the world. when we throw out our trash it goes to landfill where it soaks into the ground and creates big areas of grass and emits toxins as well. what would we do if we had no place to put our garbage? then where would it go? we have no place to put this waste so we just tend to send to other countries instead of dealing with it ourselves. when all else fails, where and what and who do we turn to? from garbage to electronics we have no place to store it except for ruining this beautiful land of ours called the United States of America. everyone knows that we have this problem through garbage and electronic waste, but no one has found a liable solution to the problem. what should we really do with all of our waste in the world. for starters, our electronics can be recycled. as we have tried this before it only catches the attention of not even a quarter of the people in the world. one person cannot change the entire world by spreading the word about recycling. This movement has not gone very far or been improved in the past couple years. it is a struggle to change the world as a whole, therefore there is no hope for the electronic waste problems.

Whats in your computer group proj 1

1) It is not mined anywhere on earth. It is a man made chemical compound

2)There is no enviromental effect from mining since this is not performed. However the production of phthalates is regulated by the Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA)

3)Human health concerns come in the form of asthma and allergies in kids, possibility of precocious puberty in females, high hormone levels, and birth defects.

4)Health impacts relate to women prematurely delivering their children.
