Delhi among US cellphones junkyards	7.5.2013	Deccan Herald - Analysis
Americans replace their cellphones every 22 months, junking some 150 million old phones in 2010 alone. Ever wondered what happens to all these old phones? The answer isn't pretty. In far-flung, mostly impoverished places like Agbogbloshie, Ghana; Delhi, India; and Guiyu, China, children pile e-waste into giant mountains and burn it so they can extract the metals &mdash; copper wires, gold and silver threads &mdash; inside, which they sell to recycling merchants for only a few dollars. In India, young boys smash computer batteries with mallets to recover cadmium, toxic flecks of which cover their hands and feet as they work. Women spend their days bent over baths of hot lead, 'cooking' circuit boards so they can remove slivers of gold inside. Greenpeace, the Basel Action Network and others have posted YouTube videos of young children inhaling the smoke that rises from burned phone casings as they identify and separate different kinds of plastics for recyclers. It is hard to imagine that ...

Scrapping it all and sticking together	3.5.2013	Deccan Herald - Supplements
Scrap collection is considered socially relevant, economically productive and environmentally beneficial "work". In fact, India has one of the highest recycling rates in the world, thanks mainly to this army of waste pickers who are mostly women. In fact, as per World Bank estimates, 1 per cent of the urban population in developing countries earns a living through waste picking and recycling. Unfortunately, despite their very significant function in society, these self-employed women occupy the lowest rung in the informal economy and are generally treated with contempt. Strength in union In Pune, however, waste pickers have discovered that there is strength in a union. The process of transformation started in May 1993 when veteran labour leader, Dr Baba Adhav organised a first-of-its-kind Convention of Waste Pickers in Pune in a bid to enable them to fight for their rights as legitimate workers and rally for a better future for their children. This meet was attended by over 800 waste pickers ...
