E-waste is something that i think can be prevented. We dont need computers just thrown out into designated places so people could burn and sell the parts. The one thing that i most hate from E waste is that people are burning the parts,computers,monitors and all those parts have lead in them, So when people are burning these parts they are observing all the chemicals that causes cancer, and it especially gets me mad when little kids are out there breathing and touching these toxics. I think we should start making plans on how we going to stop this because its going to get worser if we dont do nothing.

2. E-waste represents 2% of America's trash in landfills, but it equals 70% of overall toxic waste.
