www.greenpeace.org E-waste is routinely exported by developed countries to developing ones, often in violation of the international law. This practice is legal because the US has not ratified the Basel Convention.

@BlueStateChronicle What gives you that thought?
Why don’t we just recycle it in prisons? There are many idiots doing nothig in there, and we feed and clothe because they stole something or killed someone(got the logic?). Why aren’t they donig this job? No super pricey equipment or specialized qualification is needed, just facemask and some source of excitement, probability of them sabotaging or really screwing up something are minimal, watching over them would be simple, and the work would be in plentiful supply for the next at smallest amount 50 years.

Dont say were doomed… we cant have that mentality. We can help these people, we can get through this.
The fact is that it would be better to austerely throw ewaste into landfill, than to recycle it. Save for don’t tell that to Greenpeace.
You can prevent this by DDing for electronics in the garbage and keeping them out of the landfills and protecting the environment. either salvage stuff you can fix up and use or bring it to a proper E-Waste center for proper recycling.
@dirtyedna
i thing HP has such policy ;they take in used devices as an incentive to buy their products
I live in the UK and recycle electronics, there are ways to do this alot safer save for its time consuming. Burning is very perilous BUT if they dont burn off they will get a higher price for the metal.
Your comparing Indians to dogs. Wow your cool.
That’s a exalted over simplification of what’s happening here. From what I know India has many poor people, and I doubt excellent jobs are abundant. It’s obvious they’re doing this because they have to, and not because they want to.
Congratulations, because you are contemporary customer, YOU qualify for a FREE upgrade on your mobile phone! All you need to do is commit to a two year contract (throw away your ancient cell phone every two years)! Your ancient mobil phone or computer subdue works, doesn’t it? Oh, save for the new programs require much more energy and sophistications, and don’t work on older models – besides, they’re incompatible (programmed obsolescence)!
When a dog licks up anti-freeze you leave laying around.. its your fault, not the dog’s fault. When Indians start burning circuit boards, it’s not your fault, it’s their own fault.
thank you capitalism
we’re doomed………….why can’t dell (for example) be made to recycle their own products……when mine is done i’d pay something to know it was recycled by the book…and buy a new product from them….our politicians have no balls….its all about a lousy dollar/as usual
Sorry for the triple post. Sometimes the YT database engine just goes mad, let’s me reckon nothing was accepted and then several days the engine “remembers” there are some comments in the queue. Blah. Sorry again.

The Greenpeace activists sorry to say do not realise what the real problem is. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THIS CORRUPTION! The economic system itself is the problem! Activism WITHIN the system is pointless!

In India, and especially New-Delhi, this is even MORE DANGEROUS than in China or Ghana. Are you aware of that people? Indians DRINK the water from the Ganges in order to “heal themselves”. Save for if gallons of toxic waste are flowing into the ganges, the Indians dig their own grave within few years!!! Not even he 3rd generation from now will be able to compensate what we’re polluting and destroying now.
the standard sheeple response. No logic, no data, just name calling.
Dumbass
What do they expect, India is a backwards country.
