I showed you a video today from an old TV show called "The Hour" that was hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos. In the part of the episode that I showed you George Stroumboulopoulos was interviewing Jeff Rubin, the former chief economist at CIBC. Jeff Rubin was discussing the sustainability of globalization if transportation costs increased due to increased oil prices. Rubin was doing press interviews in support of his book "Why Your World is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller". In connection with watching "Shipbreakers" last week  I thought it would be interesting to look at another example of an industry that has environmental consequences that are sort of "out of sight, out of mind". I'm talking about e-waste. We discussed possible solutions to the problem as well.

Here's a link to an article on e-waste in China: http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/30/world/asia/china-electronic-waste-e-waste/

Here's another article (from just 4 months ago):
