how electronic-waste recycling polluting other part of the world
If you haven’t seen or heard about this, please do so, but don’t let it change your mind about e-waste (electronic waste) recycling, even though the way it is being disposed is totally prohibited
We often heard about how the radioactive waste from developed countries being exported to 3rd world countries to be disposed (if I recall correctly, few years back there was a ship fully loaded with plutonium waste which wasn’t allowed to use Strait of Melaka on its way to 3rd world country for disposal). But in reality, the same way goes to e-waste.
For whatever reason, such waste should be disposed upon where the waste is originated (usually developed countries), and are not sent to developing or 3rd world countries. Even though the rules and law exist to prevent this, but being greedy can overcome anything.

Our government don’t even care about pollution rather than money instead.
Just watching and hear this, and seeing that “dirty little secret”, is making my throat kinda of tickle, and I feel really bad.
You know… it may be poisoning that city, but those fumes go into the air… and eventually it does reach us. So it hurts everyone really.
This is really sad…. I hope we do something soon about this!
By the way…. those reporters should have worn masks while they were at the site of the sewage, and wastelands.
