"A" For Effort.


I’ve neverrrr been the one who cares about the environment. So when Ms. Riley introduced us to E-waste, and what it has done to our world, and our environment, I didn’t feel anything. To me, it was just another thing wrong with the way we are living. I didn’t gasp at the pictures of fields full of old and broken computers. The photographs of people working in factories full of old computer part didn’t surprise me, and the pictures of people burning some of the electronics to get the “good” parts of the device didn’t shock me or make me feel bad. Was I saposte to have a hurt heart when seeing E-waste? It’s just another form of trash to me, and our world is full of trash. What I’ve said is how I truly feel. It would be a complete lie to sit here and say that reading this article, and looking at the disturbing pictures had any effect on me.


-BUT I do have respect for people who feel like they can fix this. It’s good to have goals.

  2. I am not the one to really care much for stuff like recycling and air pollution either. However this E waste issue did make me feel sympathetic for those who are affected by it.
