Today, every home has electronic rubbish, or “e-rubbish”. This is old technology we don’t use anymore, like
old TVs, printers, or mobile phones. When we throw away these items, we don’t often think about where they go.
A journalist, Peter Essick, wanted to learn more. He followed e-rubbish to different countries. He saw that a lot
of e-rubbish goes to Ghana. In Ghana, old computers are sold in local markets. People there don’t usually fix the
computers. Instead, they take them apart to get materials like copper and gold. But, melting these parts is
dangerous for workers. It creates toxic chemicals.
After his journey, Peter Essick thinks we should stop sending e-rubbish to other countries. It’s bad for the
environment and people’s health. He believes companies should make electronics that are easy to recycle and safe
for everyone’s health.
