Resource+Depletion

Introduction

Resource depletion is happening all around us, it is a problem that is causing a lot of trouble for governments all over the world. The fact that we are now producing so much electronic hardware to satisfy a consumer demand is causing us to have negative effects on the environment, The fact that technology doubles every two years isn't helping as people just toss out their old mobiles or computers and upgrade to the new hardware/software

Here is an example of where E-waste ends up - Credits to Zoher (he made me put this)

This is a major problem to the environment as it causes mass pollution as seen in this picture.

This is a diagram of how electronic recycling takes place.

Resource depletion takes place when people do E-Waste, When people buy a new technological piece of [|hardware] they will use it regularly until the newer version comes out and the old one goes in the trash. Then there is a demand for more of the new hardware and less of the old. So production is increased and More natural resources are used to create the hardware.media type="youtube" key="sW_7i6T_H78" height="349" width="560"
