Children in Africa are Dying From Our Discarded Computers


BDPA needs to take a public stand on the issue of e-waste. Children in west Africa are dying to clear up the developed world's discarded computers. Children in Lagos and other areas where these computers are dumped end up looking for parts that can be sold for cash. They wander in these dumping grounds while the computer parts are burned and the toxin in the air results in death. View this gallery of 11 photos to get a visual of the problem.


Do you agree? Does BDPA need to take a public stand on the issue of e-waste?
