Electronics Recycling

Computers are a main contributor to electronic waste, which poses a major disposal issue, as various components of computers are toxic to the environment. The Institute for LocalSelf-Reliance , estimates that 75% of electronics not being used, which will create a massive disposal problem in the future. I chose electronics recycling to do my part in preventing this. My focus will be on recycling electronics in the school, and educating those in the school about electronic recycling and hopefully it will spread from there. This subject effects me, and everybody else in the world, because the fate of the environment is our responsibility and its pollution effects everyone. Some of my sources are earth911.org and electronicsrecycling.org . It is pretty easy to find information about this. The most important thing people should know about my topic is just that if we want to keep the environment from declining even more, we must recycle electronics. With the technological age we live in, we must learn how to dispose of electronics correctly. Also many components of electronics can be reused which is another reason to recycle.
