<br/><br/> "If it's not our problem, is it their solution? The Canadian government doesn't want to stop sending electronic waste to developing countries. They need it, according to Environment Canada, to build their economies. All that waste might be posing serious health problems in poor farming communities overseas, but as long as it's not leaking anything nasty when it leaves our shores, Canadian officials will let it go." (TORONTO STAR) This article addresses the ineffectiveness of the Basel Convention "to control the flow of hazardous wastes from richer to less-developed nations ill-equipped to recycle or dispose of the materials in a safe, environmentally sound manner," noting that, despite the treaty, wealthier countries continue to dump "old computers, cellphones, VCRs and other e-junk on the developing world."
