For a long time in the world of numbers
man has been developing tools
to help him handle increasing amounts of data
Well the word revolution is used very freely these days
And yeah I think there is some meaning
to the words the computer revolution.
We have got an increase in computers
of a million fold, decrease in cost by a thousand.
Every one of these monitors has 4 to 8 pounds of lead embedded in the glass.
It's ok until it's run over with those big machines and
bulldozers and everything and crushed.
That lead dust will leach into the water eventually.
You know we as a society need to get away
from the term e-waste.
We at Creative Recycling don't even use that term e-waste.
Because none of this that you see here is a waste. It's all a commodity.
I mean there's nothing here that isn't a computer, that isn't a printer,
that isn't a keyboard, that isn't a vcr or dvd player
This is obviously dumping.
Because these things are rather obsolete.
They're not even functional.
You know, so the question is
Why is the United States dumping on Ghana?
The US EPA that should know better is also part of the dumping.
US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Everyone should be notified that there's a pollution problem here.
It shouldn't be hidden.
A documentary about the life cycle of the computer.
