  • Relevant & insightful

    The subject matter is fascinating and important. Good for anyone wondering what happens to our gadgets and gizmos when we’re done with them & how they get recirculated, recycled for their parts or commodities or turfed to the landfill. We need this knowledge to responsibly live in a wired world.
