This assignment intended for you to explore the impacts of e-waste associated with this module’s chapter readings and the E-waste Republic interactive website and documentaries (Links to an external site.), and to recommend solutions to the issues surrounding e-waste using evidence from the documentaries and readings.
Please respond to the prompts below to address the environmental issues surrounding e-waste. Please submit two well-developed paragraphs with supporting details.
Prompts:
1. Describe an experience you have with e-waste, and based on the readings and documentaries analyze why we should be concerned with the environmental and social impacts associated with e-waste.
2. Recommend a solution to the e-waste impacts based on a theory we have discussed so far this semester. Theories you can recommend include institutions and the commons, markets and commodities, population and scarcity, IPAT, political economy, environmental justice, or choose your own. Use your textbook readings and the interactive website (Links to an external site.) to support your recommendation and to provide details and evidence to your post.
