The New York Times September 26,2009 By Elisabeth Rosenthal
Due to Europe's new laws that place restrictions on any waste exports, two inspectors found a bunch of electronic waste thrown into a shipping container in the Netherlands. All of the waste was supposed to be sent to China but it was never going anywhere. Rotterdam as become the 'go to place' to send trash and leave it all behind.
The author researched all the information about the new European Laws which try to eliminate the amount of electronic waste. I believe that the laws should be more strict in europe than any other country because from the looks of it, Amsterdam is polluting the world right now. Good thing my family and I recycle everything.
