Electronic Waste contributing to Global Warming

Waste of all sort put together is a major cause of Global Warming and electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the biggest contributor. It is because of electronic revolution the Globe is turning out to becoming a Village. Therefore, we must look at the problem of e-waste in that perception. Political boundaries of respective countries should not be the only criteria of dealing with such grave problem but there should be a practical global solution to the issue. To do your part to stop the global dumping of e-waste, ask direct questions. Ask a recycler or entity accepting donations what exactly they do to make sure that your old computers and other electronics are not sold to unscrupulous secondary brokers. Ask a recycler or entity accepting donations if they are willing to guarantee in writing that no part of your used electronics will end up as e-waste dumped in developing countries. You need to make sure that they give a complete solution, and are not just reselling a few parts while contributing the global dumping of the rest.
