The 60 minute Wasteland video was very shocking to see. In a world today where technology is becoming obsolete in just a few months, it was an eye opener to see what happens to the old technologies that we dispose of. I also found it very surprising how many toxic chemicals go into these technologies that we use everyday and how a lot of people just throw it away. What concerns me though is that people who try to do the right think by recycling are actually getting tricked into polluting other countries and putting other peoples lives at risk.
3 sustainable strategies
- Make products easily updatable, instead of throwing away an entire electronic make parts of that electronic replaceable for future generations and keep waste down
- Make products that can interchange meaning that one part of one product could be used on another product thus recycling broken electronics into new electronics
- Create green products, made completely out of organic material to be non toxic to the earth.
