Electronic Waste/E-waste explored
A three-pack of videos from Greenpeace that explore the environment and human costs of e-waste disposal around the world.
"E-waste is routinely exported by developed countries to developing ones, often in violation of the international law. This practice is legal because the US has not ratified the Basel Convention." -Greenpeace
"Ghana is the latest place where we have discovered high tech toxic trash causing horrendous pollution. Our analysis of samples taken from two electronic waste (e-waste) scrap yards in Ghana has revealed severe contamination with hazardous chemicals."
