America's E-Waste in China
An utterly compelling story by 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley on how our discarded computers, cell phones, etc. are polluting the hell out of parts of China. A classic piece of television journalism...vintage 60 Minutes stuff right here.

I watched this tonight as well...very riveting. I'd love to know which other companies are exporting our junk to China, and which companies are actually being responsible. As an environmentalist, I recycle electronics fairly often and would like to know which companies are actually making the effort to recycle responsibly. It's sad to know so many people in these cities are living in toxic waste from all the shit we discard.
Hmmm...any chance that they'll do a piece on how Chinese factories are literally killing people with industrial toxins all throughout China, and some citizens are so desperate that they're rioting? Probably not.
as the chinese have no qualms about dumping cheap shit on american consumers, thereby destroying american biz and workers....i say fuck em
pollute the whole fucking country for all i care
