Surma River, Sylhet, Bangladesh
Rivers are the lifeline of Bangladesh. The lifeline is not in good condition at all at present. Pollution, land grabbing and artificially stopping the natural flow of the streams are suffocating the rivers. Rivers are still flowing. The water has become blackish because of pollution. Fishermen find dumped cell phones in their nets in stead of fishes, although millions of people’s livelihood depends on rivers. We still have time to save the rivers. If rivers are safe, we are safe. Our earth will be saved. We have “Only One Earth”. Let not speak now, it’s time to stop pollution, gabbing and ensure natural flow of rivers.

Although Akan is mostly spoken in Ghana, I chose Hausa. Since it is also the language of commerce in West Africa. In addition, there are many millions of Hausa-speaking people in Nigeria. And Akan was also just a bit too difficult for me to be able to translate it as well.
Attention: If the cube is charging, "Junkelectric" is certainly not for children. I got a little electric shock when I charged the cube. This happened when I continued to work on "Junkelectric", despite the fact that the charging cable was already connected to the cube. And then when I got to another cable end of "Junkelectric", some electricity shot through my body.

Zwar Akan meist gesprochen in Ghana aber ich habe mich für Hausa entschieden. Da es ja auch die Handelssprache in Westafrika ist. Zudem gibt es in Nigeria auch noch viele Millionen Hausa sprechende Menschen. Und Akan war auch für mich gerade etwas zu schwer, um es mal ebenso, übersetzen zu können.
Achtung: Wenn der Kubus geladen wird, ist dieses Mund- und Nasenabdeckungs-Interpretation gewiss nichts für Kinder. Ich habe mir einen kleinen elektrischen Schlag abgeholt als ich den Kubus aufgeladen habe. Das ist geschen als ich an "Rümbellektron ", weiter arbeitete, trotz das das Ladekabel schon an den Kubus angeschlossen war. Und als ich dann an ein anderes Kabelende von "Rümbellektron" heran gekommen bin, schoss etwas Strom durch meinen Körper.

Kevin took me with him to a Ewaste drop off to give over a broken laptop because he wanted me to see the mini museum of all the old electronics there.

Sony hosted a Recycling Event at Qualcomm Staduim in San Diego. Close to 800,000 pounds of electronics were dropped off for recycling, which required 29 semi-trailers to haul it away.

'Mount Recyclemore' - by Stockport train station 28-7-21
"The sculpture, called Mount Recyclemore, uses thousands of elements of electronic waste (e-waste) — from old cameras, mobile phones, and computers — to recreate the leaders of G7 countries. Originally constructed and displayed for the G7 conference in Cornwall — where the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, and USA discussed major policy issues — the sculpture has been brought ‘home’ by MusicMagpie, its commissioner." -- Source: Manchester Evening News - www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-n...
I made this from a real Ipod ad for the Green My Apple campaign, and it was one of many creatives which the Apple user community put together to ask Steve Jobs to clean up Apple's act.

We won this campaign, and Apple today has removed all the chemicals we sought removed from their product line, and become a strong industry advocate of reducing ewaste. Power of the customer, writ large. Thanks everyone who made this happen!

Gigantic TVs and some not-so-big all shrink wrapped for their trip somewhere to be torn apart and their valuable components salvaged. Yes, it's a wasteful system we live in. Places like this help mitigate some of the negatives. It's the least we can do. Support your local recycling efforts!
(This location accepts anything electronic where they salvage the valuable, re-usable, and dangerous components.)
Can't you just see the tears on his big flat square face?
I'm lucky I never bought an iMac when they had cute necks like this model. I never would have had the heart to toss it to the curb. It'd be in the back of my closet forever.
Although... this person really should have brought it in for recycling. I hope for their sake they scrubbed the hard drive. :/
Shot for Macro Mondays "Frustrations"
What I find frustrating is the continued dumping of electronic goods into our landfills. Electronic devices are filled full of lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals. Fortunately in Alberta we have a province run recycling program for monitors computers and printers. Yet there are thousands of other devices with chips in them as well. These don't get recycled.
Even more frustrating are the "Recycling companies" that end up shipping the majority of the e-waste to developing nations where they cause even more damage than they would in our landifills. Very sad stuff if you've ever seen the documentaries.
Such a wasteful society we have. Don't feel too bad though, I'm just as guilty of producing my share of pollution. The cost of modern living I suppose.

Guiyu is one of the biggest e-waste centers of the world. More than a million ton of e-waste is dismantled in this Chinese village every year. Women, children and man work under terrible conditions to extract all the precious metals from circuit boards, computers, ic's and other electronics.
They often burn the plastics, circuit boards and ic's in open air without protection in order to extract the melted copper or tin. Despite the ratification of the Basel-agreement, a lot of international branded gadgets end up illegally in Guiyu.
This man assembles plastic waste form waste-dumps to try to resell it.
