Electronic
waste and what to do about it are two of the most important problems facing
humanity as valuable resources are wasted and depleted and the natural world is
slowly poisoned. Do your research to find out where your discarded iphone or
tablet ends up and what effects it has on the environment. When you are ready,
use your notes to describe the problem and suggest solutions.
