On: An e-waste dumping ground

[phkahler]

>> 59 million tons is a cube 390m on a side, or a square pile 10m high and 2500m on a side.

It's also 118 pounds for every person on earth. That seems really high for e-waste.

Not to nitpick since it's still in the same magnitude, but I think it's more like 25.5 lbs

118,000,000,000 / 4,640,000,000 = 25.4310344828

I thought there were 8B people which makes it even less. I need to turn in my brain card!
