We all love our gadgets, but what happens when they're no longer useful to us? This episode delves into the growing problem of electronic waste, or e-waste, and its shocking impact on our environment.
According to a UN report, e-waste skyrocketed to 62 billion kilograms in 2022 alone, equivalent to filling up 1.5 million mega trucks that could wrap around the planet. Disturbingly, less than a quarter of this waste is recycled, with much of it ending up in landfills, releasing harmful chemicals into our ecosystems.
Join us as we explore the consequences of e-waste, how it affects our water systems and food chain, and the role we can play in mitigating this crisis. From choosing durable products to supporting eco-friendly companies and utilizing e-waste recycling programs, there are steps we can all take to make a difference.
Learn practical tips such as extending the lifespan of your devices, considering refurbished electronics, and raising awareness about e-waste. Together, we can contribute to a more sustainable future. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more eco insights.
