In an increasingly globalized world, technological devices are rapidly increasing day by day. Consequently, the amount of electronic waste is growing sharply because people always change their tools when manufacturers offer new products. These increases pose several problems in terms of health and the environment, but there are some solutions to overcome e-waste successfully, which will be explained in this essay.
On the one hand, e-waste has a wide range of negative effects. First, when people throw it away, it damages to environment badly because e-waste does not disappear in the environment and it stays for years there. Moreover, this waste affects trees or flowers, and they cannot grow effectively. When trees and flowers are growing, they may affect the e-wastes’ poison, and the animals that eat these plants are damaged by the poisons. As a result, e-waste constitutes a major environmental and health concern.
On the other hand, there are, of course, some possible solutions to reduce e-waste. The most remarkable solution is that citizens should be encouraged to recycle electronic devices. The government may launch recycling campaigns. For instance, if people take their e-waste to a certain container that will be taken by the government, they can earn money or reduce their taxes. If policymakers persuade people effectively of such policies, it can be easily seen that the amount of electronic waste will fall sharply.
To sum up, nowadays, e-waste has a harmful impact on the environment and health, but there are some effective solutions, such as public awareness campaigns.
