I came across this video on the Treehugger website. These are just a few clips from a documentary that was aired on PBS. It's a really powerful documentary and great introduction to the e-waste issue in Ghana, China, and India.
Each country presents an interesting twist. In Ghana, the issue of security is looked at. In China, the film discusses how e-waste has become a major business. And, in India, the issue is no longer just about foreign e-waste. Due to a growing middle class, there is increasing concerns over the alarming rate of local e-waste production.

Very good watch.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Ghana was one of the top countries in the world for cybercrime, with e-waste playing a major factor.
Very powerful. Interesting that journalists and activists investigating these, as well as other students. Makes me ask – where are the environmental health researchers!?
