E-Waste (1º Bach/Ciencias)

Hi!

Have you ever wondered on how much e-waste do we generate on earth? Whether trashed or recycled, we get rid of our mobiles phones just becouse they get old fashioned!!

Watch the following video and answer the questions below.

                                          HOW MANY PHONES HAVE YOU OWNED??

1.-Why does the video consider that dumping a phone is a threat to the environment?
2.- How often do you get a new phone or tablet?

We will be discussing about this issue next class!

Bye

    1.- Because the movile phone is formed by a lot of materials, that materials are polluting.
    2.- My mobile phone is very old and i don't no when i will buy a new mobile phone, but i think that people use buy a new mobile phone when your mobile has 2 or 3 years.

    1. Hi Barbara!
      About question n.1
      "it isn´t just made...(not make)....and better use " it is a threat, rather than "has" , ok?

      About question nº2, I also consider than 2 years is a short lifespan for such an expensive gadget

    2)I change my mobile phone every year because i love having new mobile phones.

    1. Because the phones can create toxic air and water. The phones are the biggest source of toxic metals in landfills and the fastest growing source of waste.

    2. I get a new mobile phone every two years.

    The mobile contaminates very much the environment with his(her,your) pollutant and toxic materials. My mobile has less than one year due to the fact that other one broke me and and had buy the new one the people buy mobile newly every year or every 2 years due to the fact that they get damaged
