GOOD Magazine: E-Waste

how about we pay people to get a good education in fixing computers instead of building new ones? maybe it'll work. even if we have to recycle certain pieces of the computer, we would be throwing away alot less than the whole thing altogether. we don't always have to have high tech stuff. at least the things we have now still works. i think americans need to learn how to conserve equipment and materials instead of throwing away everything. also, these goodmagazine videos make me depressed.

Does anyone know where i can get the song from the video???

why don t they just give old electronics to poor people in poor countries???? way better than destroyng them

no power.

theres a couple things wrong with just giving them to poor countries.
first, the reason most of them are being thrown away in the first place is because they're broken.
second, what happens when the poor countries want to dispose of the old electronics? they're either going to sit in a landfill for a near-eternity, or they'll be shipped to china to be "recycled", exactly like this video shows.

because they have no electricity

This is a great video. All Green Electronics Recycling offers e-waste recycling nationwide and we do not export. This is an issue that should concern everyone. Thank you for posting this.

Mercury .. isn't bad.. it's the stuff in almost ALL vaccinations for disease

barium
Chromium
Beryllium
can't be to bad either.. it's the stuff in the Airplane contrails that don't dissipate
aka. Chem Trails

and since the government controls both of the above areas, then these things CAN'T be bad for us, or the environment....

for anyone about to flame me.. all of the above was sarcasm

this was another great piece done by GOOD
valid, relevant, and important stuff to think about
