黑龙江省哈尔滨市第六中学2019届高三英语10月月考试题

是的是的广泛广泛problems of the past decade has been the rapid increase in electronic waste. As society has moved from the iPhone 2 to the iPhone 6, all of those old iPhones have had to go somewhere. Tablets, PCs, old TVs, DVD players and countless other devices are nearly always abandoned before their useful life is over. Many of these devices contain small amounts of toxic materials. When they are thrown away, these toxics can enter our garbage system. That system is not designed to handle dangerous waste. Here in New York City, efforts to manage electronic waste began during Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC program and continue under Mayor de Blasio’s OneNYC. This past January, New York City and New York State started a ban on disposing (处理) of electronic waste with regular garbage. New Yorkers who throw their iPhone into the garbage could be subject to a $100 fine.

While the city will not pick up electronics for you, 90 locations throughout the city, including Best Buy and Staples stores and the Salvation Army, will accept electronics that are not needed any more. In partnership with Electronic Recyclers International, the city began a collection program in November 2013 at apartment buildings. Buildings provide rooms or large containers for local people who need to throw their old devices away. Buildings can also decide on specific days for collection.

However, consumers alone cannot address the issue of electronic waste. The companies that build and sell these devices must play a key role. Now it isn’t the time to get into the short lives of iPhones or whether or not this is planned, but if these products are going to be replaced so often then Apple and its competitors must design the phones to be easily taken apart for raw materials or parts to be used in other devices. This effort to recycle should become part of the design for engineers working on the next generation of electronic toys. In addition, companies should be offering rewards for consumers who trade in their old model to receive a new one. The production chain from producer to market should become a closed loop, with the product going back to an organization that can make some use of it. 32.
