“It is wrong and immoral to try to escape the consequences of one's actions.” Mahatma Gandhi. We are producing too much waste, and we are also not taking full responsibility for the waste we have created. To illustrate, 75% of our e-waste ends up in landfills where toxic metals leach into the environment. Americans alone generate about 3.4 million tons of e-waste per year: If we put all the blue whales alive today on one side of the scale and a year's worth of U.S. e-waste on the other, the e-waste would be heavier. There were 1.6 billion phones produced in 2012. In 2003, Russia reported production of over 287 million tons of toxic waste. The average person generates 4.5 kilos of waste every year, or 1.5 tons per person. Americans throw away 25 million pieces of plastic per hour. Toxic, electronic and industrial waste appear to have serious effects on our planet and us because they all contain toxic components. As a result of our irresponsibility in waste disposal, we are destroying ourselves and the environment. Nowadays, people are starting to worry about the amount of waste that is increasing every year. They are finding ways to reduce it. Toxic, electronic and industrial wastes have poisonous effects on living things and the environment. Electronic, toxic, and some industrial wastes are full of toxic chemicals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, silver, and copper. These components can cause: damage to the brain, heart, liver, lungs, spleen and kidneys, as well as birth defects and damage to the nervous, reproductive and skeletal systems. Humans can get cancer from industrial waste. When this waste ends up in landfills, toxins leach into soil and water and are released into the air, they can cause unnatural mutations... middle of paper... be turned into fuel that will run the plasma waste. it converted If you generate enough synthetic gas, you can actually generate enough electricity to feed back into the power grid. In 2008, Canada tried to isolate the bacterium and found that it could decompose plastic in about 3-4 months. Biopolymer plastic is not made of corn but of bacteria and can biodegrade in the sea. Nanotechnology can make this happen: it will create nanobots that will break down garbage into its component atoms. Now we have seen the consequences for the waste we dispose of. We are harming our loved ones and our habitat. The problems were solved and overlooked. We have found many solutions that will make the world a better place to live. The main key to solving the problem is “us”. We need to be more responsible for the waste we produce.
