Did you like your new DVD? What about the
old ones that had got scratched? What about the old computer mouse that stopped working, and look at that 17 inch monitor you got… and then threw away the earlier one which you didn’t need? If this junk hardware went into the garbage bin or was given away to the local scrap dealer, then dear reader, you have made your contribution in destroying the world.
Yes, this is electronic waste a.k.a eWaste. Most electronic items are irresponsibly thrown away by consumers and companies. These items, when not recycled or disposed off properly become toxic, due to the metals present in them, and ultimately cause irreparable harm to the planet and all life on it.
