It is a known fact that the United States ships it's waste to other parts of the world.  Electronic and textile waste are primary items that get discarded in another country.  In the Philippines, donated clothes called "ukay ukay" are re-sold in small town markets.  In places such as India, our electronic waste is taken apart so that the parts can be re-sold and melted.  The problem with this process is that it's done by individuals without any type of protective gear.  It's children handling hazardous materials just so that they can eat.  The irony in all of this is that these items are manufactured just a few villages away in inhumane conditions.  They are made by hard working individuals with little pay, gets sold in high end stores at 100x or more and then discarded quite easily by our over consuming society.
