What happens to our computers or electronic devices when we’re done with them? They cannot simply be tossed in the garbage with the rest of our waste, seeing as computer parts contain toxic and highly carcinogenic components. This dangerous waste needs to be carefully recycled, following strict specifications. Developed countries, however, find it easier and cheaper to export their electronic waste to poorer countries instead of managing it themselves. Entire villages in China have turned into recycling plants, where the population has no choice but to work in this highly toxic environment in order to provide for their families. The health costs are incalculable. Digital Cemeteries illuminates the giant footprint our waste leaves behind.
