50 Million Tonnes – Science Show and Live Chat with Steve Summers

Last year, 50 million tonnes of electronic waste were produced. More than ever before—more every year. We buy more, it breaks more quickly, and more of it piles up in the poorest parts of the world. Will this used technology destroy our planet, or could it give us the solutions we need?

In this show you’ll learn a new way of looking at this e-waste—as free stuff that can be hacked and used for our own inventions. Hear about how the technology works, where the materials come from, where the waste goes to, and what we can do to help the situation. You might even figure out what to do with that drawer full of dead tech at home!
