Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution.
When electronics end up in landfills, toxics like lead, mercury, and cadmium leach into the soil and water.
The electronic waste problem is huge: More than 20 million tons of e-waste are produced every year. Americans alone generate about 3.4 million tons of e-waste per year. If you put every blue whale alive today on one side of a scale and one year of US e-waste on the other, the e-waste would be heavier.
Our team Tech Sect cjose the topic of E-waste for the case study of our Final projetc for the class Social Ethics and issues (CS 440) at San Diego State University. Our team wanted to create awarness about the topic so we decided to create a powerpoint presention, video and website for our final class presentaion
The following repository constains the files for the website including HTMl, CSS and javascript files (and other supporting docs)
