Consumer Electronics and the Environment

"I remember years ago going to an optometrist, and they ask how many hours of screen time I have in a day and at the time I think I sort of sheepishly said like 4 hours, or something like that, knowing it was actually higher. But today if I went it's like… well how many hours am I awake in a day?"

In part 2 of the electronics summer series, Kristen and Kyla discuss the impact of the most popular tech items on the environment. Topics: mining; rare earth mineral refining and toxic waste; e-waste dumping and recycling; the right to repair and planned obsolescence; what you can do.
