Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions below:
Nowadays, every house produces electronic rubbish (or e-rubbish) such as an old TV or a computer printer, or an out-of-date mobile phone that we no longer need. But, when we throw these everyday items away, not many of us know or even think where these objects are taken to. The American journalist and photographer, Peter Essick, decided to follow this e-rubbish to several different countries around the world.
In particular, Essick found a lot of e-rubbish goes to Ghana. There, he saw mountains of old computers in the local markets. The sellers resell some of them but not much equipment works. Instead, they recycle the broken computers by melting the parts inside. These parts contain a little metal such as gold sometimes. However, this process of recycling is dangerous for the workers because it produces a lot of toxic and killing chemicals.
As a result of his journey, Peter Essick thinks that it's important to stop exporting erubbish. It's bad for the environment and it's bad for people's health, too. Instead, he believes producers need to produce more eco-friendly electronics in the future; in other words, electronic products which you can recycle cheaply, safely and in the country where they were made.
