Demitrius Hilerio class 707 Upfront Magazine ''Where Your Cellphone Goes To Die'' Response

     The artical ''Where Your Phone Goes To Die'' is about cellphones that are thrown out and replaced. These cellphone manufacturers pay countries to get rid of electronic waste. This is unaccecptable because these electronics have things that are bad for human life. For example the text clearly states that some stuff in phones are bad for you. ''The World Organization reports that even a low level of exposure to lead, cadmium, and mercury-all of which can be found in old phones-can cause irreversible neurological damage and threaten the development of a child.'' ( Upfront Magazine page 10 ).

    These cellphone manufacturers can make a phone recycle system able to be recycled as stated on page 11. ''Changing the way phone companies do buisness could also be beneficial to producers and users. For example, manufacturers could sell products complete with a prearranged recycling service or with subscriptions that make it possible for customers to exchange old phones for new ones rather than throwing them away.''
