"Ghana: The largest dump in the World"

Currently the situation in Africa is devastating. Apart from having a high rate of deadly diseases, as well as, precarious living conditions, they must live together with what is essentially the largest dump of the world, located specifically in Ghana.

This has happened due to the fact that countries such as Germany, USA, England, among others, discarded trash that as destination has Africa. It has been demonstrated that to trow away trash instead of recycling or delete it in a way that does not affect the environment, is much more appropriate for these countries. Due to the fact that getting rid of this garbage would have a cost less than half that if this trash were recicled. Perhaps some of you will think that how it can happen this, if there are agencies responsible for regulating this topic.

According to what United Nations (UN) says, as well as was stipulated in the Basel Convention of 1989, was banned the exportation of toxic waste and dangerous items, including electronic, to less-developing countries. But what is most surprising is how these industrial powers evade this agreement.

According to these countries, all exports of electronic objects have as objective donate technology and bridging the digital divide between both regions of the world.

But what they apparently do not take into account is that only one quarter of the waste is reusable and the rest only will continue to occupy a place in the dump.

But what most unworthy are the side effects that these residues have in children, in addition to being very harmful to your health, due to the toxic emissions and hazardous components that have these devices, the percentage of child labor continues to grow increasingly.

If the authorities responsible for this issue, do not take serious and concrete measures,  we do not know what may happen in Africa, perhaps we will end up contributing to the extinction of that part of the world.
