EFFECTS OF E-WASTE ON OUR ENVIRONMENT
2
Electronics for consumers are being treated like
disposable items more and more every day. One
major factor causing this trend is that companies
are endlessly marketing new technologies to us,
which effectively render recent products as
obsolete.

Improper Electronic Waste Disposal leads to
negative effects of E-waste on Environment

• Our growing stream of e-waste is a threat to our
  environment. When we retire our computers we have
  four options to recycle it, donate it, return it
  to the manufacturer or throw it in the trash.
  Most commonly, we throw it away.

Effects of e-waste on Environment Through
Landfills

• Toxic metals in e-waste leach into our supply of
  resources, threatening their integrity. When
  e-waste is warmed up, toxic chemicals are
  released in to the air, damaging the atmosphere.

 Effects of E-waste on Environments in Third
World Countries

• The e-waste piles up in the landfills, which
  cause harm to the environment in various ways.
  Toxins from the metals in electronics are
  released in to the atmosphere, and what is worse,
  when e-waste disposal is not subsidized, the
  pollutants from our electronic waste can end up
  in toys for our children that are sent back to us.

Instead of exporting e-waste, or letting it rot
in landfills, we can help our environment by
returning our electrical products to stores and
manufacturers, sending them to responsible
recycling centers, selling them to people that
will find them useful, or donating them to stores
such as Goodwill donation center.

The amount of e-waste that we produce, including
computers, DVD players, cellphones and global
positioning products, could rise by a whopping
500 over the next decade in countries such as
India. It is crucial to know the effects of
e-waste on the environment, and what we can do to
stop it.
