According to the United Nations University, Americans throw away an estimated $55 billion in e-waste material annually. This e-waste does not simply disappear. Instead, it pollutes and harms our environment and health. What can be done about the problem?

One of the main causes of e-waste is when people upgrade to newer products too frequently, and the old products are often thrown away even if they are still in good working condition. Whenever something does develop a fault, it helps to be technically minded. Knowing how to maintain and repair your own electronic products will help it last for many years and save money.

The real solution is to transition from our current anti-economic system to a true economic system, designed specifically to maximize human development and well being as efficiently as possible instead of the current waste maximization infinitely accelerating growth paradigm.

I had a phone that worked perfectly well, but I had to discard it simply becsuse it would not work thanks to the company's upgrades! So I had to dump the phone & I ceased doing anymore business with that company! Technoligy is so WASTEFUL & it's all about keeping these S.O.B's in a job.

EU should make e-waste and plastic courses compulsory to every level of school and include some scrapping at the recycling center for every student in higher levels and universities. I never had a course on this even in the technical engineering university. Also Google should fix their algorithm to show this instead of never ending nonsense about cool gadgets and stuff.

@rajisg Жыл бұрын

The right to repair bills going around are positives. But things would change if countries were prohibited from exporting their own waste to other (generally poorer) countries, who have much weaker health and safety and environmental standards for "recycling"... Just watch this KZfaq documentary called "ship breakers" and you'll see what I mean 🙁

I don't understand why can't we simply reuse?! For example, old desktops can possibly be reused as Network Attach Storage, old powerful server CPUs can be reused as for average home PCs and more. Instead of buying a brand new, low priced, "underpowered" PCs why can't settle for a older generations high powered PCs? It's no brainier that you can get a bang for a buck!
