eWaste

3) Go to the Greenpeace website. Read the information about eWaste. Write a brief summary of it, include a link to the Greenpeace site page about eWaste.

3.1- eWaste; eWaste is the unwanted electrical goods consumers buy then throw away when they no longer work, have become obsolete or are no longer needed. Most of the time when eWaste is thrown away it is usually exported illegally to third world countries for the people to pick out the precious metals then burn off the plastics which put out carcinogenic smoke when burnt.

Here is a link to the Greenpeace website on eWaste.

Below is a picture of a overloaded truck carrying eWaste.
