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.

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.
Enormous carbon footprint
computeritdisposals.co.uk
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.
Mining natural resources
computeritdisposals.co.uk
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

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.
