ELECTRONIC WASTE MANAGEMENT

Electronic waste is not something people think about too much as they continually chase after the latest İPhones, throw out tablet computers and laptops as if there is no tomorrow. However, e-waste is a serious problem and needs to be tackled before it is too late. Do your research to familiarize yourself with the issue, then discuss the reasons why we need to address it and what specifically we can do about it. 

Note to the student: This task is not solely a "cause and effect" essay and not solely a "problem solution" essay. It is a combination of both.
