Students, I was very impressed with your reflection posts about E-Waste. The High Tech Trash article we read at http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/01/high-tech-trash/carroll-text seemed to really light a passion in some of you. For others, the electronic waste topic seems to just be someone else's problem. I've enjoyed seeing in the comments how the two varying opinions respectfully discussed their point of view. Very well done!
Interesting personal note... After we read this article, I received a watch as a birthday gift. It's a stainless steel beautiful dress watch. On the box in really small letters it says "This watch contains mercury. Please dispose of properly.". However, the average person doesn't know what "dispose of properly" is. I hope this article has inspired some of you that are more passionate about this topic to seek ways to educate others about recycling and disposing of their e-waste responsibly.
