E-waste

Today we went to the ICT suite. Why? To learn about E-waste. The person taking it was called Anna. We learnt that E-waste is electronic waste. Electronic devices have either a power cord or a battery. We learnt the reasons that people throw away their electronics. What are they? Well either they break down, or are out of fashion. We learnt how electronic devices change over time. Which, of course, which, of course, is why people get rid of their old stuff, to get the cool, new stuff. Which of course, is why people keep on making E-waste. We learnt lots of interesting
facts, but one of the most interesting things that we learnt was that 426,000 phones get discarded daily. We made booklets about everything we have learnt.
