December 1st, 2008 at 10:02:52 Nicely put. Also kimmycakes002 to add to the comments before. We are responsible for this problem (U.S. and countries who send it to there) however we are sending it to them (asian countries) to do this hazardous task. They have to! People aren't aware of where they send their e-waste, if they even bother to send it away. Don't be so ignorant because we ALL are at fault. We should've been aware of this earlier, and PREVENTED it. Like my fater always says "The prevention is better than the cure."
December 1st, 2008 at 10:25:51 the following comment goes to kimmycakes002
December 1st, 2008 at 10:48:50 products that are manufactured in china are developed and designed by firms' R&D in the US, EU and Japan. So "they" are making the trash "we" are asking them to do, cos noone in your counry would like to or do it for the same price. stop being so ignorant, wake UP! thanks for the vid, really appreciated
December 1st, 2008 at 11:11:49 Thank you so much for this video. It has taught me a lot about this serious issue.
December 1st, 2008 at 11:34:48 It's called outsourcing! Don't blame it on the lower developed countries. Most people live in poverty and NEED those jobs to survive. They don't want to make inferior products, but they HAVE to.
December 1st, 2008 at 11:57:47 Very interesting video. I was not aware of this e-waste problem before and I was really shocked by these images from Guiyu. In my opinion, this problem should be more covered in the media.
December 1st, 2008 at 12:20:46 great vid. btw :) very informative
December 1st, 2008 at 12:43:45 this might sound rather pigish, but atleast it went back to were it came from. Since 80% of electronics arent made in the U.S. anyway and made in places like tiawan and china, its good to see there getting the trash they made back. i really dont think its a problem on us giving them the trash that came from there in the first place,i think its the way these ppl are disposing of them, with out PPE and proper disposal habits, thats whats killing them, the lack of someone caring about there safety.
December 1st, 2008 at 13:06:44 Blame Bill Gates.
December 1st, 2008 at 13:29:43 We the Human Being Destroying the Beautiful Earth and for that we can not blame others but us. Our lavish lifestyle and over use of technology making the nature in stake indeed. I am using a laptop to type this... Isnt it also unnecessary ? we can live on without this crap things. its true It make the life easier and its potentiality is undeniable but have we ever thought about the long run effect of this ????
December 1st, 2008 at 13:52:42 How can people use so much energy, aren't they interested in being able to breathe?
December 1st, 2008 at 14:15:41 I think there needs to be education on primary level on right and wrong and how to help in realtime. Good knowledge is the most important thing, also happiness. Fortunately we are all different and what may seem unlivable to us may be fine to others. I think that it's more fun to be with people, travel and experience diffent cultures, also to read than to buy things.
December 1st, 2008 at 14:38:40 Of course the manufacturing countries have to be clean. I know from personal experience how dangerous toxic chemicals are. You don't realize that it affects you but it does. The most important thing I believe is too focus on the good options.
December 1st, 2008 at 15:01:39 Its not greedy Chinese businessmen who BUY this crap, it's greedy Americans in the waste disposal business who PAY Chinese to dispose of the toxic material without caring about its proper disposal. Waste disposal is like any other business - there's a cost of doing business! Rather than invest part of their revenues to tool-up and become efficient businessmen, they just take in money for trash disposal, but spend less than what is needed for its proper disposal - they're cheaters!
December 1st, 2008 at 15:24:38 lol his using a dell! talk about E-waste
December 1st, 2008 at 15:47:37 It's not like the US is dropping this stuff from air planes. it's greedy Chinese business men who don't care about china buying this stuff for the gold and other materials.
December 1st, 2008 at 16:10:36 I have bought and discarded so much of this trash myself. A big part of the problem is planned obsolesce by the manufacturers.
December 1st, 2008 at 16:33:35 I suggest you apply the same medicine to your senses, than suggest to me I spit ignorant bullshit. I don't even know what your point is. Hope you learn the art of articulate debating. Thanks
December 1st, 2008 at 16:56:34 This is an excellent video and e-waste is a very real and serious problem which we can discuss without arguing and insulting each other.
December 1st, 2008 at 17:19:33 My bad. I thought the comment you made was against the guy in the video. I understand now. Thanks!
December 1st, 2008 at 17:42:32 wait a min... seems like you misunderstood my comment... it was a repsonse to envirotalks comments while he argued with johnknoefler. i have nothing agaisnt the video, i was suggesting that enviro should take a more mature direction then verbal insults... becuase he would constantly say that john is "ignorant"... get it?
December 1st, 2008 at 18:05:31 I didn't see him start out with or end with a comment like "you are highly blessed with IGNORANCE". I felt the video was produced very well and didn't see it as an attack video. It looked like a well researched video, I look forward to seeing him do a video, which will clearly explain some positive solutions we are doing and can do to help with all the toxic trash we are producing.
December 1st, 2008 at 18:28:30 im not accusing him of being anything... i just dont see what good could come out of ending or beginning a comment with "You are highly blessed with IGNORANCE"... as far as his argument is concerned... i agree.. i only see the whole "your ignorant" thing as childish... i did not mean any offense
December 1st, 2008 at 18:51:29 Hey mkakos, I don't understand how you can say you get what he was saying and agree, and then attack him as being "holier then thou" and saying he should stop "your ignorant" bullshit. You ask him to try and ad a strain of maturity. I find that funny because to me, it is you and not him that is immature. He knows of a serious challenge to people's lives and their health and the damage done to our environment. What would you suggest he say in a video?
December 1st, 2008 at 19:14:28 I get what your saying and I agree with it. But could you stop with all the "holier then thou" and "your ignorant" bullshit. Please try to add a strain of maturity and make youtube a little more bearable for those of use who apperciate the art of debate... thanks
