Module 2: Lesson 1- Policies and Issues on Internet and Implications to Teaching and Learning

 E-pollutants from E-waste 
"Electronic Waste (E-waste):How Big of a Problem is it?" 
By: Rubicon Global

Summary Narrative :

The United States, and other economically established countries, handles some e-waste recycling but the EPA estimates that 25% of recyclable electronic waste is shipped away. According to the United Nations, 20-50 million metric tons of electronic waste is discarded globally every year. A large number of what is labeled as e-waste; is actually not waste at all, but whole electronic equipment or parts that are readily marketable for reuse or can be recycled for materials recovery. Every year, over 50 million tons of electronic waste is created.



What Lesson have I Learned:

I learned that E-waste is not just a simple waste, it is more than that. E-waste has a big impact in our surroundings that in every electronic gadget or components that we throw could contribute to the pollution. It has a big contribution particularly in the air, water and soil pollution.



Suggestions that I can offer:

Just what the article stated we should really consider Electronic Cycling (E-cycling). This means reusing of the old gadget or electronic equipments. In this method we could lessen the E-waste and we could save money because instead of buying a new one we could just fix the old one.

Teachers need to know how to operate technology (laptop, desktop, projector, etc..). You don't need to be a pro but at least you know the basic knowledge about it.
