Electronic Waste - the next big thing (threat i suppose)

hi all,
we must've talked and heard a lot about the tons of plastic waste that we create every day, we are still not concerned about that to a great extent. The hazards of the plastic waste is not even known to everyone despite we being talking about it from such a long time. I was recently going through the web when i read about the hazards of the electronic waste that is affecting life of people seriously. People in the USA have started getting worried about it but the here in India not many people are even aware of this thong. Wipro being the only company in this field. we need to take a serious look into this and find out the ways to reduce it or dispose it properly.
