Humans make choices that can have an impact on biodiversity


Therefore, staying with the theme of e-Waste you will be investigating the choices and habits humans are making with technology and the resulting e-Waste produced.

Focus Questions: What stages does e-Waste go through? What is involved? What is the end result? Are there any negative results from e-Waste? Who are the main contributors/players? How can we change this? How can we get involved? Are there any positive results from e-Waste?

Assignment:
You will be responsible for creating a chart or poster showing the life cycle of eWaste, while answering the Focus Questions. Your goal is to encourage discussion and possibly improve peoples e-waste habits. You will share your findings with the class, and respond to any questions.

Tip Jar
Research: Where does e-Waste go once collected? Who is involved? What is the outcome? Analyze: What trends do you see? Are there positive and negative results? Be Creative: How can we get involved? How would you do things differently? This is bigger than you or I How can we make this a central issue?
