How do you fell about the problem of E-Waste?
Even after reading the facts about E-Waste I am finding it hard to say how I'm feeling about it. I think this could be do to the fact that I am not experiencing it first hand as such as the people in the under developed countries are. I think it is terrible what they have to go though on a day to day bases, spending so much time in these e-waste dumps so they can find something to support their families with.
What can you do to help reduce these effects?
As an individual I could do my part by making sure that the electronics I used and that my family uses are properly disposed of after we are done with them. I can bring old phones back to the store and have then disposed of properly. Finally I can make they people around me aware of how to recycle their e-waste.
How do you think the principals of green chemistry help with e-waste?
I think that a lot of the principal of green chemistry go hand in hand with helping to not only reduce the amount of e-waste we produce but also the amount of toxic chemicals going into the products.
