Nicely put. Also kimmycakes002 to add to the comments before. We are responsible for this problem (U.S. and countries who send it to there) however we are sending it to them (asian countries) to do this hazardous task. They have to! People aren't aware of where they send their e-waste, if they even bother to send it away. Don't be so ignorant because we ALL are at fault. We should've been aware of this earlier, and PREVENTED it. Like my fater always says "The prevention is better than the cure."

products that are manufactured in china are developed and designed by firms' R&D in the US, EU and Japan. So "they" are making the trash "we" are asking them to do, cos noone in your counry would like to or do it for the same price. stop being so ignorant, wake UP! thanks for the vid, really appreciated

Thank you so much for this video. It has taught me a lot about this serious issue.

It's called outsourcing! Don't blame it on the lower developed countries. Most people live in poverty and NEED those jobs to survive. They don't want to make inferior products, but they HAVE to.

Very interesting video.I was not aware of this e-waste problem before and I was really shocked by these images from Guiyu. In my opinion, this problem should be more covered in the media.
