Olympic Medals from E-waste and Where NOT to Live

Well it seems to be true, there is a little debate about the facts behind it. A quick search of "the Google" did not uncover any truth in the comment about this being false advertising. Perhaps this will shed a more conversation on the topic, and people complain that the Olympics is a wasteful display.

While this drifts from the topic, I found it quite stunning. And e-wast was defiantly a part in these transformations.
