2. What actions can you suggest in order to minimize the growing number of e-
waste in our society?
There are a lot of ways on how to curb these environmental hazards. On the part
of the manufacturers, I think they should minimize the use of unsafe chemicals and
materials in their products. E-waste contains harmful chemicals that causes an
extremely unhealthy environment. With the evolution of technology to develop brand
new electrical and electronic appliances, or equipment and gadgets with advanced
features, more and more home appliances and electronic gadgets are being put up
for disposal. On our part, we have to learn how to dispose or recycle our e-waste
properly. This can save a lot of energy and reduce the need for mining of new raw
resources, or manufacturing new parts. If we have gadgets or devices that are still
working but we feel like we don’t need them anymore, we can donate ir or sell it on a
much lower price. And in relation to that, I suggest not to buy things that are not
necessary. Another way is to maintain our devices to increase its longevity so that
we don’t buy and buy new one.

Conclusion
Although technological advances help to increase productivity and yields
There are still disadvantages of applying technology in the agriculture industry and
also in our environment. Yes, life will be easier with the use of technology and it
may help agriculture but it may also have a negative impact in our environment.
