Exercise 7

Within the GREENR database, go to the E-Waste topic portal. Research and find statistics on how rapidly the world's production of e-waste ( Core Case Study ) is growing and how rapidly e-waste production is growing in the United States. Write a brief report on what the United States and one other country of your choice are doing to deal with this growing waste problem. Include statistics on how much e-waste is generated in each country, on how much of it is recycled, and on how much of it goes to landfills. Compare the two approaches in terms of how successful they are.
