Water is the most abundant resource available on this planet. That being said, it is also a finite resource. Clean water is a whole other story, however. Clean, potable water is so scarce in some nations it could be used as currency. Living in the comfort we do, sometimes we take for granted that we can turn a tap and have clean water any time we want it.

Probably once or twice a week, you take your garbage to the street and leave it to be picked up by a crew of men and women who then take it off to be processed and dumped at a waste disposal facility. That is the end of the thoughts for most people about what happens to the waste they generate.

So what does the first thought have to do with the second, you may be asking. In many instances, the waste you generate, in the form of electronic waste, may end up dumped on the shores of another nation. Millions of tons of material each year in the from of cell phones, batteries, monitors and computers are dumped each year in third world nations who have no real way to process this waste. Much of it ends up in waterways and sources that these people use for drinking water.

The components in most electronics contain mercury, zinc, magnesium and other metals that when dissolved in water can change the pH and make it toxic. With no way to address these concerns or properly deal with the mounting waste, the ecological systems around these underdeveloped nations suffer from substandard drinking water and unprocessed electronic waste.

There is a solution. By recycling your electronic waste you can make a dent in this huge problem. Environmental crises are everyone's problem. Go to www.pandabit.com to find out how you can make a difference.
