RE: The E-Waste Mega Dump of Agbogbloshie
This is a crazy eye opener. Thankyou for sharing your experience.
I think as consumers we actually have a little more power over this problem than we might think. We need to increase our appetite for goods made with recycled products and shun those that use virgin materials. Finding ways to reuse these materials is key, when demand for the resources is there, the desire to dump them will reduce.

I also feel like it's time for companies to take responsibility, force them to take back their broken goods, let them recycle and reuse the materials they extract. But we let them do whatever they want so they can keep their profits. And as I mentioned before, the moment they're responsible for their products they will last much longer and are upgradeable.
I also think our elected governments have a lot to answer for as well, where they let their own greed and ambition outweigh action that is for the betterment of the constituents they are supposed to serve.
I think it's kind of crazy with what governments and companies are getting away. Also withholding information from us or down playing facts. This has to end, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!
