Electronic Waste in Ghana

try to explain this to a bunch of 9th graders very hard.

why teh hell my comment removed??? :@ i got some idea..

maybe build a factory with the best chimney filters....

Burning those things can cause severe air pollution and can cause cancer..long term. Never burn any plastic.

Anyone ever watch the hit TV show "Dirty Jobs." Here it is folks, reality. Just remember the American cities during the industrial revolution.> they were shit-holes.




*If they want to solve their problem, how about they actually repair their "second hand computers" and create a more intelligent, connected Ghana.

Lets face it, this is a very real problem, but the market driven approach is a far more proactive method than simply complaining like Greenpeace.

The positive effect also is these people can survive and don't die because of famine.

Stuuuuuupid! Figure out a better way FFS

Shit i already figured out a better way! Crush all the components into a powder/granules, use water to separate the heavy metals from the lighter plastic

Electronic waste in Ghana has positive and negative effects. The positive effect that these electronic machines came from Europe and South America to Ghana then they can fix it and use it in thier schools also they can do for the machines a recycle process to use them again, but he negative effects such as it pollute the air and it effects the health. Also there is a security risk because they can buy hard disks from the open souqs & they can find many personal information and very secret info.
