Too Long; Didn't Read
E-waste is the result of a throwaway society, where we tend to buy new each year and get rid of the old, usually in a landfill or dump. Some estimates state that, on a global scale, humans generate more than 40 million tons of electronic waste each year, or the basic equivalent of trashing 800 laptops every single second. Recycling computers and other electronics is hugely beneficial on a number of levels, including the use of valuable materials in computers and televisions.
