E-waste

A topic that should perhaps be on your KS3 Geography SoW (it's certainly on the one that I'm developing for courses later in the year...)

There's a recent striking New York Times SLIDESHOW on the dumps of Agbogbloshie in Ghana...

See where the e-waste goes to, and the use that people make of it...

A web search for Agbogbloshie produces a whole range of possible leads and resources.

I was particularly taken by the gallery of images by Andrew McConnell.

I think I am going to have to return to this topic later in the year...
