Choose A, B, C or D.
Today, every home has electronic rubbish, or “e-rubbish”. This is old technology we don’t use anymore, like old TVs, printers, or mobile phones. When we throw away these items, we don’t often think about where they go.
A journalist, Peter Essick, wanted to learn more. He followed e-rubbish to different countries. He saw that a lot of e-rubbish goes to Ghana. In Ghana, old computers are sold in local markets. People there don’t usually fix the computers. Instead, they take them apart to get materials like copper and gold. But, melting these parts is dangerous for workers. It creates toxic chemicals.
After his journey, Peter Essick thinks we should stop sending e-rubbish to other countries. It’s bad for the environment and people’s health. He believes companies should make electronics that are easy to recycle and safe for everyone’s health.
