E-WASTE: A DEATH SENTENCE

This article is about the dumping of electronic waste in Ghana, Africa.  The recycling process for e-waste costs too much, so there is illegal shipping to African countries like Ghana. European countries illegally label their e-waste as “functional” or “repairable” before shipment. This dumping has caused irreparable environmental damage to this village in Ghana.  Now the villagers can not be fishers and instead sort through the electronic good to sell. These villagers are exposed to toxic fumes that cause terminal illnesses and are usually physically wounded while sorting through the e-waste. Experts predict that this illegal dumping of e-waste will only increase and cause even more damage.  They say it will double by 2020.  http://www.dailysabah.com/features/2014/10/17/ewaste-a-death-sentence

    It is amazing to see the economic profit versus the accounting profit. This relates a lot to the STUFF video we watched in class. The cost of the radio might only be $4.99, but there is so much cost spread out that cannot be seen in the accounting profit. It is so much more intangible than that.
