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.

FACTS
  1. The nation now dumps between 300 million and 400 million electronic items per year, and less than 20% of that e-waste is recycled.
  2. E-waste represents 2% of America's trash in landfills, but it equals 70% of overall toxic waste.

  1. :) i like that you care.
    not to many people do these days.


    anywayssss.
    i agree with you 100%. We really need to start doing something about this stuff before it's too late.
    The U.S. complains about how high cancer levels are and how they want to find a cure...but maybe if they used their brains a little they would realize that the smart thing to do is to stop doing things that cause the cancer instead.

  2. Very good reflexion I too, agree with you! Its sad how kids are around these toxins and they too are inhaling chemicals that can damage their bodies. In the saddest part is that these kids that are their are starting at an early age with that said they too are going to die but at a faster rate.
    I like your reflexion!!
