This video shows the crazy amounts of terrible things happen
to our old electronics that most of us in the United States and other prominent
countries don’t even know about. We send
our “junk” over to these countries so that other people risk their lives every
day for terrible wages by burning these electronics so they can gather the
metals and actually make some money. The
video is so sad especially the part where the man who is burning the material
says that it makes him sick and he knows that but if he doesn’t he won’t make
any money so he continues to ruin his health.
What I think is one of the most important things for people to
understand, especially for those who will say that,” it’ll only hurt them and
not us” is that it is hurting us. It is
ruining the whole world and our planet. It
burns the atmosphere and its killing the trees, the animals, the plants, and it
is effecting how we breathe.
The part where I don’t understand is how China’s leaders
allow all of this hazardous waste in their country. I know for a fact that the United States
would never allow something like this to happen here. I can’t believe that there are people in
China simply ignoring this because of money.
With everything being said, the economic point of view is
that it is nearly impossible to take care of this ecologically friendly. It would cost so much that it is not worth
it. I think that the only way that e
waste can be handled correctly is through some kind of volunteer work and
donations to develop factories like Pucketts in India that was talked about in
the video.
