Digital Dumping Ground

This is the ground reality of poor countries. E-wastes are being dumped in developing countries in Africa and Asian countries like China, India, Pakistan etc. E-wastes are toxic and harmful to human health. People in these countries have to suffer from the technology and facilities used by people in Europe and America. This is not fair. Where ever the waste is generated, it has to be managed there.
