As we continue to throw out electronic devices
irresponsibly, shelf life for these gadgets is
decreasing, and we are encouraged to buy more and
more product.

When we dump or burn our e-waste, it releases
toxins in to the air. Inappropriate methods of
disposing of e-waste cause us to fail to reclaim
valuable materials or manage toxic materials in a
safe way. This leads to contamination of our
soil, water and air, and for these reasons, there
are numerous health hazards of e-waste.
