Tech Trash

              1. What is Tech Trash?
    Tech Trash is electronics, such as TV's, computers and old technology that are not being used since they are broken and discarded.

2.How does this trash have an effect on our environment?
    This trash can have a huge effect on the environment if it is not disposed of properly. These old CRT's, known as Cathode Ray Tubes, which have plenty of lead in them and if not disposed of correctly, this can harm groundwater and rivers that are nearby. That is why they have an effect in the environment.

3.What does the article explain about people looking for solutions to tech trash?
    There are solutions to help out with Tech Trash. If your computer is working but is an older version of a computer, you can donate that to charity or give it to someone, but as long as it is functioning. Even schools can help out.

4. What can you do to help keep Trash Tech from polluting our community?
    I could help out by probably giving away old electronics that still work to someone else if I don't want it. Or I can just recycle them if they don't work at all. And not to trash the Tech at all.
