Electronic and electric goods make our lives easier, but these appliances and gadgets quickly become outdated and people throw them out. As electronic equipment has become more available and cheaper, people often replace their old computers and TVs instead of getting them repaired which creates tons of electronic waste, or 'e-waste'.
E-waste contains over a thousand chemicals, many of which are very toxic. Most e-waste currently ends up in landfills where chemicals and heavy metals leak into the soil. Some e-waste is burnt, but this releases toxic gases into the air.
Fortunately, manufacturers are starting to encourage more recycling and reduce the number of toxic chemicals they use. Also, many countries have signed treaties to stop the exporting of e-waste to other countries. We all must remember to REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!
