E-Waste

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:31 pm by kerrie

Think of all the electronic devices you’ve gone through in your life…  do you ever think of where they end up? The Daily Tech posted an eye opening article yesterday about the electronic waste we go through, where it ends up, and how some is potentially toxic (lead and cadmium are found in many older electronics). It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 2.9 million tons of e-waste each year, of which only 15 percent is recycled properly. Much of the e-waste in the U.S. is being illegally sent to China to be taken apart and used for parts. An e-waste bill has been put forth by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and will be presented to the Senate for approval. Something to think about before you buy your next new gadget.

“For too long, too many people have been improperly dumping electronic devices without being aware of the dangerous effects on our environment. This legislation is a win-win for protecting the environment and our families. It takes the right steps to develop the best methods to change the way we dispose of outdated and unused electronics, and the hazardous materials they often contain.” - Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand
