E-Waste
What is e-waste?
E-waste or electronic waste is an electronic product that is no longer needed, is broken or has now become useless due to its old/out dated features.

1 -Computer
2 -T.V
3 -Phone
4 -Camera
5 -Laptop
6 -Microwave
7 -Video Game console
8 -Video Game controller
9 -Battery
10-Clock
Why is it getting worse?
Its getting worse because now that humanity is reaching the launch point of new technology, companies will continue to mass produce billions of products every year to consumers which will create mass loads of e-waste. Due to this companies aren't actually thinking about where their waste is sent and instead think of the profit they will receive from their products.
What can we do about it?
What people can do to keep e-waste out of land fills are re-think if you actually require the latest gadget and have to trow away a possibly still functional gadget. You can also try to keep your gadget safe from being broken or infected from a virus, which will extend the life of your gadget for years to come. Donating your gadgets to others is also a great idea too; may it be family members, friends or someone in a developing country anyone can make use of them if you can't.

My Feelings on High School So far
I have had an interesting high school experiences far. From the Open House till now I have met many new friends, got to know many new teachers and i have become more accustomed to my new school environment. I am here to share what i feel and what has happened over the time from the open house to now.
Very few of my old friends from elementary came to my school, but the ones that have come with me have grown into greater bonds than we had prior to high school. Due to this i had to make new ones to replace some of my old friends. Many of which resemble my old friends making it seem like they are there with me. With these people at my side there to aid me i have grown very comfortable with my school society.
Besides my friends there are the teachers. I have gotten to know quite a few of the teachers through my current classes which has helped me feel comfortable in the classroom. This assist me in trying and do well in my studies and when participating in class discussions. With Friends that have helped me feel comfortable among others and teachers that assist in my classrooms this has helped me switch from my life in elementary to high school which has made my experience so far very interesting.
