Basically, anything that can be plugged in or has a battery can be considered electronic waste, or e-waste, once it is broken or no longer in use. E-waste is tricky to recycle because there are so many different types that all contain a different mix of materials. What many folks don’t know is that a lot of that e-waste contains toxic chemicals, things like lead and mercury, which if they aren’t handled properly can contaminate the environment and cause serious health issues.

It’s your old electronics. Around 6.92 million tons in 2019 alone and a lot of that e-waste contains toxic chemicals, such as lead and mercury, and brominated flame retardants. If those are not handled properly, they can contaminate the environment and cause serious health issues. Smoke from burning e-waste is very toxic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens to our old electronics? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you take your e-waste to a collection site or recycler, then those electronics are likely taken to a recycling facility and processed there. E-waste is tricky to recycle because there are so many different types that all contain a different mix of materials, some of which is toxic. At a recycling facility, it’s often sorted, and data is deleted from devices. Some devices or components can be refurbished or reused, while others will be processed. This can mean that parts like metals and plastics can be separated out, and then sold to smelters to go back into manufacturing. But, sometimes recyclers end up shipping old electronics overseas to developing countries– where they do not have strict environmental and safety standards. This exposes workers and the environment to those toxic substances, which has created massive environmental and health problems. The World Health Organization estimates that 18 million children work at these dangerous e-waste dump sites around the globe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What should you do with your old electronics? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dropping your electronics off at an e-stewards certified recycler is one of the best ways to ensure your e-waste won’t go overseas and will be handled responsibly. E-steward-certified recyclers have pledged to not ship their stuff overseas, and handle the waste in an environmentally sound way. They have surprise inspections to make sure they are doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is a circular economy? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A circular economy is an antithesis of designing for the dump.

E-waste is tricky to recycle because there are so many different types that all contain a different mix of materials, some of which is toxic. At a recycling facility, it’s often sorted, and data is deleted from devices. Some devices or components can be refurbished or reused, while others will be processed. This can mean that parts like metals and plastics can be separated out, and then sold to smelters to go back into manufacturing. But, sometimes recyclers end up shipping old electronics overseas to developing countries– where they do not have strict environmental and safety standards. This exposes workers and the environment to those toxic substances, which has created massive environmental and health problems. The World Health Organization estimates that 18 million children work at these dangerous e-waste dump sites around the globe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What should you do with your old electronics? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dropping your electronics off at an e-stewards certified recycler is one of the best ways to ensure your e-waste won’t go overseas and will be handled responsibly.

Eisenhower. He had seen examples in his early career of highways in America, but it wasn’t until WWII when he was Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe that his dream of an interstate highway system really started to take shape. While stationed in Germany he saw how the allies used Germany’s ~Reichsautobahn~ (their high-speed roadway system) to move goods, supplies, and people super efficiently, helping them nearly win the war. His thinking was that Americans need highways to get around, be evacuated in case of an emergency like war, or move supplies in case of a war. So after becoming President, he passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. By the ’90s there were 45,000 miles of road built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did highways segregate and displace communities of color?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States was still racially segregated at the time of highway expansion. Communities of color were not prioritized when some of these choices of where to place highways were made. Black and white communities were largely divided, and many of the highways were literally built around Black neighborhoods, isolating those communities away from the rest of white America. This also led to displacement as some highways were built right through neighborhoods, tearing down housing and businesses displacing and destroying Black communities as they weren’t protected and considered as politically valuable as wealthier white communities were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is environmental racism? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that we know how, why, and where the highways were placed, what impact are they having on us today? Environmental racism is racial discrimination in environmental policy decisions. Looking at Oakland and Los Angeles as examples, we see that folks who live closer to highways have higher exposure to the pollution which can cause an array of health problems such as asthma, other respiratory issues, lower life expectancy, and potential developmental delays for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are potential solutions to highway pollution and displacement? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities across the U.S. have removed portions of freeways or have announced studies to look into removing them. One argument that’s always brought up is that removing highways could increase traffic, or commuting would be worse somehow. However, most projects are only talking about removing a portion of a highway– not the entire thing– and typically the highways being proposed for removal aren’t used as heavily as other portions of the highway or are in poor condition. There’s also the question of reparations: how do we compensate the communities most impacted who are still dealing with the effects of highway expansion today? In 2022, President Biden proposed 1.9 billion dollars in grants to fund “Neighborhood Access and Equity” as part of the Inflation Reduction Act to help rebuild communities impacted by highways and infrastructure. While it remains to be seen how this funding will be distributed and implemented, it is considered an important step towards progress by many affected communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SOURCES:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Can Removing Highways Fix America’s Cities?

Eisenhower. He had seen examples in his early career of highways in America, but it wasn’t until WWII when he was Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe that his dream of an interstate highway system really started to take shape. While stationed in Germany he saw how the allies used Germany’s ~Reichsautobahn~ (their high-speed roadway system) to move goods, supplies, and people super efficiently, helping them nearly win the war. His thinking was that Americans need highways to get around, be evacuated in case of an emergency like war, or move supplies in case of a war. So after becoming President, he passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. By the ’90s there were 45,000 miles of road built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did highways segregate and displace communities of color?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States was still racially segregated at the time of highway expansion. Communities of color were not prioritized when some of these choices of where to place highways were made. Black and white communities were largely divided, and many of the highways were literally built around Black neighborhoods, isolating those communities away from the rest of white America. This also led to displacement as some highways were built right through neighborhoods, tearing down housing and businesses displacing and destroying Black communities as they weren’t protected and considered as politically valuable as wealthier white communities were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is environmental racism? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that we know how, why, and where the highways were placed, what impact are they having on us today? Environmental racism is racial discrimination in environmental policy decisions. Looking at Oakland and Los Angeles as examples, we see that folks who live closer to highways have higher exposure to the pollution which can cause an array of health problems such as asthma, other respiratory issues, lower life expectancy, and potential developmental delays for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are potential solutions to highway pollution and displacement? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities across the U.S. have removed portions of freeways or have announced studies to look into removing them. One argument that’s always brought up is that removing highways could increase traffic, or commuting would be worse somehow. However, most projects are only talking about removing a portion of a highway– not the entire thing– and typically the highways being proposed for removal aren’t used as heavily as other portions of the highway or are in poor condition. There’s also the question of reparations: how do we compensate the communities most impacted who are still dealing with the effects of highway expansion today? In 2022, President Biden proposed 1.9 billion dollars in grants to fund “Neighborhood Access and Equity” as part of the Inflation Reduction Act to help rebuild communities impacted by highways and infrastructure. While it remains to be seen how this funding will be distributed and implemented, it is considered an important step towards progress by many affected communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SOURCES:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Can Removing Highways Fix America’s Cities?

And all this releases tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which is a problem because CO2 is a “greenhouse gas.” Greenhouse gases are molecules that trap heat in the atmosphere, which leads to an overall warming effect on the planet. CO2 isn’t the ONLY greenhouse gas, there’s methane, nitrous oxide, and some others in the mix. AND burning fossil fuels isn’t the only way greenhouse gasses are released into the atmosphere. But CO2 currently accounts for the greatest warming. And since the late 1800s when global average temperatures have increased by about 1 degree Celsius. Overall, this warming has a huge impact on the climate causing things like more severe droughts, water scarcity, wildfires, floods, melting of polar ice, and sea level rise.

When we use energy from fossil fuels– like coal, oil and natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and methane into the air. These gases are “greenhouse gases” that trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. They are also known as carbon emissions because they contain the element carbon. With a carbon tax, people and business would have to pay a fee for their carbon emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would a carbon tax fight climate change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea with a carbon tax is to make energy from fossil fuels super expensive, so people won’t use it as much.

When we use energy from fossil fuels– like coal, oil and natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and methane into the air. These gases are “greenhouse gases” that trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. They are also known as carbon emissions because they contain the element carbon.

In fact, this could even be a trade-off. Data is not clear that practicing the three R’s is better than consuming new goods. For example, some may think that continuing to drive an older car or buying a used car is a good illustration of reduce and reuse. However, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.strategy-business.com/article/10406?gko=ec603\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">newer models of cars\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are more fuel efficient than their predecessors, thus \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112304555\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">buying new cars\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> helps to reduce fuel usage. On the other hand, newer cars are often bigger and heavier, requiring more resources for their manufacturing and also leading to increased rates of road degradation. Reuse in general seems like a good strategy, but each circumstance is different. Continuous use of some plastic bottles can lead to health risks if they are made with \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/lib/different-types-of-plastic.htm\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">cheap plastic \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">or if \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://environment.about.com/od/healthenvironment/a/plastic_bottles.htm\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">harsh chemicals\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> leach out of those containers with increased use.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_318624\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-318624\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-1020x624.png\" alt=\"Recycling center in Macon, GA\" width=\"640\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-1020x624.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-160x98.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-800x489.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-768x470.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-1920x1174.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-1180x722.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-960x587.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-240x147.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-375x229.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center-520x318.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2016/10/Macon-GA-Recycling-Center.png 1972w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recycling center in Macon, GA \u003ccite>(Winter Overby)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The act of recycling is also expensive.

In fact, this could even be a trade-off. Data is not clear that practicing the three R’s is better than consuming new goods. For example, some may think that continuing to drive an older car or buying a used car is a good illustration of reduce and reuse.
