Lol XD Although this is no laughing matter (this crisis)the comments: -This is terrible -This is terrible -This is great LOL :D I knew someone was going to do that. But I'm assuming that person meant this is a good video, but a terrible amtter,and I agree. Thank-you for trying to promote being green and posting this (CNN has a really good video about e-pollution too).

Very true

Yes but these people aren't the only people who are part of the problem. They are simply trying to make a living. You and I are also responsible for this. I watched a video that showed people trying to recycle their electronics, instead they are imported to places like this.
