Poor Nations Are Littered With Old PC's, Report Says - New York Times

Poor Nations Are Littered With Old PC's, Report Says - New York Times: "The report, titled 'The Digital Dump: Exporting Reuse and Abuse to Africa,' says that the unusable equipment is being donated or sold to developing nations by recycling businesses in the United States as a way to dodge the expense of having to recycle it properly. While the report, written by the Basel Action Network, based in Seattle, focuses on Nigeria, in western Africa, it says the situation is similar throughout much of the developing world."
