Is Recycling E-waste the Right Thing to do?

Eighty two percent of electronics went to landfills in 2007. Also only ten percent of 140.2 million cell phones were only recycled in 2007 too. And recycling E-waste is okay so we don't create more E-waste.

E-Waste is the bad technology in computers, ipods, TVs, and many more electronics. E-Waste is a material such as mercury, and lead right along with many many more nasty materials. And if we live in a world with all this waste, it will be to dangerous to live here. So people really need to start recycling the E-waste so there is no more being created. And it has to be recycled very carefully.

Two hundred to five hundred percent in developing countries such as China and India demand outspaces recycling capabilities. So the percentage will be very high by the time of 2020. And if we don’t recycle, we will be breathing in nothing but toxins, which are very dangerous. So what we all need to do is recycle the unwanted computers, broken phones, and many damaged Electronics. This is what we need to do, we need to start recycling the electronics ASAP before the world is taken over by waste.

There are all these landfills that show that electronics are not being recycled, and they have all those landfills to prove that it is not being recycled, (according to the EPA). This is a main problem of not doing what needs to be done. When our homes are filled with electronics, we know what we should do. And if we don’t do what needs to be done, our home is ruined. So get up and start recycling your unwanted electronics.

Twenty to fifty million tons of waste will most likely end up in poor countries such as Ghana. And if we recycle this nasty material it will help the environment some, and another thing is that the landfills are getting too full for this kind of waste. The Government is giving out grants. All the things that will happen are severe illness, or maybe even death. People don't want to know what the consequences will be. As a matter of fact children play with these electronics, and they are also E-waste.

People think recycling E-waste is too dangerous. But it is not so bad. It is totally worth recycling this. Most people would prefer having this waste recycled instead of letting it destroy planet Earth. And if we don't start now we will be flooded in the waste, or possibly drinking it through our water systems.The EPA would want the same thing too so we can keep going without this madness.There might be some risks of getting ill, but its not likely if it is recycled correctly.If it is not recycled correctly, than they need more training, to make sure it is done right.

The thing is that E-waste is supposed to be recycled because, well we don’t want to face the consequences. And the consequences may not be good. Right at this moment the world is quickly filling with waste. And we need to do something about this problem. Technology that is in computers is extremely dangerous. We really, really need to clean our world right now.That is what needs to be done right away. If we really understood, we would have started years and years ago.

We have to get up right now and start recycling this before our home is destroyed in a few years or so. It will not take long when everyone participates to clean up and recycling garbage, waste and many other hazards around us. We should not be a bum, or a lazy couch potato.So get up and lets start “spring cleaning”. This is what we need to do so there is no more E-waste being created.
