Video: The Electronic Wasteland

This video was definitely an eye opener.  I was not aware of how all of the electronic waste was effecting our planet.  The electronic wasteland is located in China and is very toxic and deadly, containing electronic materials that lead to brain damage, kidney disease, and cancers. Along with that, the pollution of burning electronics make the city in China the most toxic city worldwide.  Their air, water, and their own blood is filled with toxins. Electronic waste, also known as Ewaste, is the fastest growing component that is being thrown away.  With the large expansion of technology and the new products that are continuously hitting the market, there is more and more outdated electronics being thrown away.  This video made me realize that we need to think of a way to get rid of all of the Ewaste in a harmful way, along with designing future electronic devises that cause less or no damage to our planet.
