Causes of electronic waste

Electronic waste includes computers, entertainment electronics, mobile phones and other items that have been discarded by their original users. While there is no generally accepted definition of electronic waste, in most cases electronic waste consists of electronic products that were used for data processing, telecommunications, or entertainment in private households and businesses that are now canceled, broken, or cannot fixed. Although its common classification as a waste, disposed electronics are a big category of secondary resource due to their significant suitability for direct reuse Electronic waste is a valuable source for secondary raw materials, if treated properly, however if not treated properly it can cause the global warming in some way. For example, leaving the hot water running for whole day, even simple thing like phone, computer, oven are put as stand by can lead to global warming. All in all, I think people should cooperate with each other to stop the global warming even with small thins because small things can make big solution for the soon future.
