Discussion Questions CHALLENGING THE CHIP

Have you ever recycled any old cell phones, televisions, computers or anything electronic? How do you feel about the fact  that 80 percent of those items you thought you "recycled" are probably highly polluting our earth in Asia?

Do you agree with the forth R responsibility? Would you think it is fair to say that you are at fault for contributing to toxic wastes on this earth? Why?

Why do you think we utilize weaker economies to handle environmental problems when we have access to more technologies?

Was this article an eye-opener to you? How much knowledge did you have about toxic waste before this? How do you feel about dangerous waste being sent to poorer countries to pollute the air they breathe over ours? 

Do you think we should enforce a ban exporting hazardous waste like the OECD? What could we do with that waste in our own country?

How do you feel about the EPA ignoring all these important issues?  Do you think that their is anything they could do to recognize them, anything to stop exporting this waste but keep Americas air clean and our citizens safe as well?
