Paragraph 2
Most e-waste comes from
countries. A lot of it is sent to poorer countries for
. However, these countries lack the
and resources to dispose of it in a
that minimizes environmental damage. The
volume of waste is creating a
of health problems. Dumped electronics are poisoning rivers and seas. A disturbing 58 tons of
entered the environment last year. Some of this enters the food
. The UN blamed manufacturers for showing "a lack of duty of care" by failing to accept
for what happens to their products. It also blamed consumers, saying, "it's just a few clicks" to buy electronics, but "it's far more
to dispose of them".
