E-trash is just that, electronic trash. Have you ever wondered where all of your electronics go when you get rid of them? Well a lot of places will tell you that they get recycled and the parts get re-used, bull-crap!!! Our electronic waste mostly goes over the seas or to the dump, only some of what we throw out gets recycled. Take a look at this quote from CBS news: "According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in 2005 we threw out 2.2 million tons of unwanted electronics. Most of it went into landfills. Only about 345,000 tons were recycled." E-trash is a growing problem that people don't realize, but do need to be aware of before it gets out of hand and starts causing problems everywhere! I think e-trash is a growing problem and that people need to find a safe way to dispose of all of it.
