E-waste, also known as electronical waste. This is when people take un-wanted and now un-used electrical products and dump them in various places including landfills, dumpsters, radom lots, and off to plants that will ship them overseas. E-waste is a growing problem becuase  brand new technoloiges and advances are  being made everyday, and new and better products are being made constantly. Since there's a newer, faster, sleeker design of all the technology we use daily, it seems to make sense to buy them, after all they are suppose to make our life easier, but when you but that new electronical toy have you ever thought where your old one will end up?Almost 315 MILLION computers will become obsolete this year alone, and that's just computers. So what do we do with that old mp3 player, cell phone, camera, computer, laptop,and that dvd player???
