The Electronic Wasteland
Have you ever wondered where all those old gi-normous computers end up? Maybe in the ocean? Or perhaps just with the rest of the trash? NOPE! I heard this years ago about what happens to the “recycled” computer parts and other gadgets that we get rid of. If you think about, those 50 pound computer screens we all use to have, those last generation cell phones, those old school VHS tape decks ALL go somewhere. And now there’s proof…CHINA! Of course leave it to Americans to ship their WASTE to the cheapest bidder. You have to appreciate the great investigative reporting that 60 Minutes does. I use to work with circuit boards and electronic chips before, and trust me, its VERY UNHEALTHY to breathe in the tin-lead.
So who do you think is to blame? Should someone take responsibility on our side or on the east side?
