The environmental impact of electronic waste can be felt across the world, but most heavily in third world nations. Each year, millions of tons of electronic devices are dumped on the shores of African nations and much of south east Asia. But it's not hitting our shores, so why should we care. 

The global effects of the environmental impact of toxic electronic waste can be felt worldwide. Polluted air and water in addition to toxic soil can damage a nation's sustainability from an agricultural standpoint as well as being bad for the environment. Many of these nations don't have the resources or technology to properly dispose of this waste. Many just burn off the excess putting toxic fumes into the atmosphere. The remains get buried and end up ruining the soil for years. 

So again, why does this matter to any of us? This has an economic impact on global economy. That's right, it affects your money. By not reclaiming and recycling this waste, the cost of electronics will continue to increase. There are a finite amount of resources and heavy metals used in productions are becoming more scarce, and logically, more expensive. 

Recycling and properly disposing of this type of waste isn't just ecologically conscious. It's smart money. Consider it a future discount on your electronics purchases. To learn more check out www.pandabit.com.
