It is indeed a problem. (Score 1)

I think a lot of people are very nieve about the problem of E-Waste. Just because we're not necessarily affected by it, doesn't mean people should just ignore the problem. The question of 'where does it go,' isn't apparent to the U.S. because it's not piling up in our backyards. Many people living in poverty are forced to live among diminishing piles of electronic waste; unknowingly being poisoned by the harmful effects of the errosion of electronic waste. The sales tax implemented on new technology does serve a well needed purpose. A new E-Waste recycling plant called Electronic Recyclers, located in Fresno, California, has just moved up to the number one in the U.S. and is expanding in other foreign countries. We need to open up our eyes to the problems others are facing due to our own insensibilities.
