Assignment 4

Before the lecture in tuesdays class, i had hardly any knowledge of what e-waste was. I never knew about the different types of metals in computers or how dangerous some of the things could actually be. As we continue to advance in new technologies we will be producing more and more e-waste. Dumping it onto other countries is not solving the problem but only making it worse. I see trash bins outside that are made for just recycables and regular trash. The city right now is trying to get a program started where you throw out food waste in a seperate container so it could be used for energy later on. I belive that we should have a seperate similiar idea where we have a trash bin just for e-waste. It would make sense seeing how people are buying new technologies every day and throwing out their old ones. This could be a good start in controlling what happens with e-waste and help save from the damages this problem creates
