Unit 11. Green Living
11B. The Trouble with E-Waste
Technologt as Trash
As the morning rain stops in Accra, the capital city of Ghana, and the sun heats the humid air, a terrible-smelling black smoke begins to rise above the vast Agbogbloshie Market. Past the vegetable and tire merchants is a scrap market filled with piles of old and broken electronics waste. This waste, consisting of broken TVs, computers, and smashed monitors, is known as "e-waste." Further beyond the scrap market are many small fires, fueled by old automobile tires, which are burning away the plastic covering from valuable wire in the e-waste. People walk through the smoke-a highly poisonous mixture of chemicals-with their arms full of brightly-colored computer wire. Many of them are children.
Israel Mensah, 20, explains how he makes his living here. Each day scrap sellers bring loads of old electronics. Mensah`s frineds and family buy a few computers or TVs.
They break them apart to remove valuable metals and wires, as well as any parts that can be resold.
