Week 4 assignment

Electronic waist is such a problem because no one wants to deal with it. Even after a electronic item has been "recycled" there are still parts left that no one knows what to do with. This is a huge problem because we end up sending our wast and problems to other poorer countries to deal with. It isn't a fair or just solution but it is easy. It is hard for a company to willingly loose money by recycling of there electronics a different way.
My own habits could change a lot involving how I dispose of my old electronics. For one I can maybe pay a little more and have my electronics safely recylced, and I can donate them to goodwill, or other foundations. Many electronics can be reused by other people and they don't need to be destroyed.
I think that the most effective thing we can do is to help raise awareness. The more people know about how there electronics are disposed off the more chance change will happen.
