You don't need to travel to Ghana to see the abuse of Hazardous Wastes. The irish environmental authorities have been turing a blind eye to unwashed chemical containers and contaminated silage plastics being exported. This waste ends up in China and Vietnam where it ends up being washed in rivers, often by children.

The problem is our capitalistic consumer-based society! One simple thing you can do - ignore those offers to upgrade your cell phone - especially when your existing one isn't broken. 70% of the e-Waste is exported to China, the rest goes to India and Africa. The poor try to melt the precious metals out to eek a meager living, pollute their world with toxics, and kill themselves.

Much like a deposit on a beer bottle, or any other deposit... one solution.
Another; would be for us to start manufacturing products that have interchangable parts that can be reused/refurbished, into new products... The Solutions truly are endless; though, in present terms, the World economics don't allow for Environmentally Friendly Products... We can make changes...

We need a law where a person pays an e-waste fee
when they buy the computer. The fee is then paid to the e waste recycler when they dismantle used electronic equipment and dispose of hazardous waste in an authorized legal and safe manner.

Delayed e-waste law enters force
A much-delayed law that makes British producers and importers of electronic goods responsible for the recycling of their products has come into force.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires 4kg of "e-waste" to be recycled per person.
Manufacturers have to fund recycling schemes, while retailers must offer take-back services to customers.
