E waste

I respect everyones opinion. But I hate to break it to you.... We have a huge environmental impact on these countries due to "our" E waste. Remember these are third world countries with poverty levels the average American just doesn't understand. There are times we go, "broke" while these people don't have coins in between the seats, an extra dime in the washing machine a few things they could go pawn to get by till pay day. They have no pay day. Imagine taking away your home and belongings and replacing it with your tool shed out back, Without the tools, throw away all but two of your worse sets of clothes, replace your mode of transportation with a flimsy pair of flip flops, what would you do? These people do whatever they can to get by. They sacrifice their lives to survive. Not to make a living but to live. Sure there's that guy making all the profit, reeking the benefits of penny labor in these poverty stricken countries. but the majority are dirt dirt poor. In these countries you're either dirt poor or rich and if you're rich you're more than likely corrupt. With that said, most of these countries don't have computers like the average American. Sure their population may be much larger but their per capita income would not allow them to afford the luxuries of a computer or various electronics. Think about how many electronics we have in our house today, now think back how many pieces of electronics have we had in our house in the past 10 years? Now go back to living in the tool shed... How many pieces of electronics do you think you'd have in there? Exactly. Electronic scrap is one of the largest growing waste streams in our country. Even though it's frowned upon, a lot of it is going to these third world countries. Face it, these are also the countries who have high demand for our metal so as any likely American we take opportunities to maximize our profits. If this means selling to China, then sell to China. This stuff needs to go somewhere and we'd prefer it not to be in our own back yards. I'm not debating right or wrong, but don't be naive to think we have nothing to do with a lot of these stories we hear in the news. Until our own country can get to the point where we no longer need to scrap for a living, this will always be an issue we like to turn a blind eye to.
God bless America!!!!!
