Is this really any sort of surprise to anybody? Of course electronic waste has grown to record levels, it’s just going to keep growing. Did people think it would just vanish on its own or something?

I’m sure we set a new record for electronic waste disposal every day. And it is a problem because there aren’t landfills big enough to hold it all, or oceans large enough to dump it all into.

Now they’ve found most people have some amount of plastic waste in their blood streams also. That’s just the way it is in the world we live in, we eat breathe, and literally ingest plastic and other indestructible waste all the time.
