If people had to kill there own animals, more people would be vegitarian, if people had to keep all the things they bought, they wouldn't buy as much. Were in a very hypnotised nation, we all think everything is ok, but really the apocolypse has already begun.

@ichigoku322 That totally makes sense especially since it says right there they are DEVELOPING countries and might not be able to afford the equipment to maintain higher safety standards.

[ichigoku322]

Its there fault for having such low safety standards. If China was shipping the US all there computers at least we would have the common knowledge to protect ourselves from fumes and not dump waste in the river. All of these hazards are preventable.

Wait why did I watch this?

Do you have a New Year Resolution for 2011? If you are a US American resident, please, please, please urge your Congressman or Congresswoman to support HR (House Resolution) 6252 - the Congressional bill to ban export of e-waste to developing countries!
