  1. Technology's Impact Bad impacts of technology on environment Enormous carbon footprint Mining natural resources Production of electronic waste computeritdisposals.co.uk

  2. Bad impacts of technology on environment Technology has left its mark on every sphere of life nowadays and is also leaving its impact on the environment. As per an estimate, technology in the form of computers, laptops and cellphones use up to 5% of the total energy used by an average person. In addition to this, these devices require more natural resources including metals, plastics and glass which are non-renewable resources. It has led to depletion of mineral stocks in some parts of the world and there is no long-term solution for this issue. computeritdisposals.co.uk

  3. Enormous carbon footprint Manufacturing 1 phone releases 16kg of carbon into the environment. These emissions keep increasing as the phone is used and consumes power via battery charging. When making a new phone leaves an enormous carbon footprint behind, how can it be okay to keep making new technology and keep harming our planet? These emissions are not just problematic for the future generation but they are directly impacting us at this moment. computeritdisposals.co.uk

  4. Mining natural resources The Earth has limited resources and we cannot always use them because there will be a point when we will run out. At this particular time, it seems like we are running out of resources and something needs to be done about it. When manufacturing a mobile phone, a considerable amount of minerals and materials go into its making. These minerals are extracted from mines in different parts of the world and their resources raise environmental concerns, increasing the negative impacts of technology. computeritdisposals.co.uk

  5. Production of electronic waste The most talked about and the obvious problem of increasing technology is the mounting piles of electronic waste. Here we are not talking about regular trash, this is the toxic e-waste that concerns the environmentalists. A very small portion of old devices are recycled, the rest of it goes to the landfills and releases harmful chemicals such as lead and mercury. These chemicals are released into the soil and seep to the nearest water body as well computeritdisposals.co.uk

  6. Impact of Recycling on the Environment Recycling saves energy Recycling is one of the best ways to cut down on energy consumption and help your environment. The current global energy consumption is over 50 trillion kilowatt hours. But recycling consumes less energy than manufacturing new products. It also saves money by finding alternative uses for old products. computeritdisposals.co.uk
