Question of the Week: E-Waste

(CNN) -- U.S. statistics in 2005 revealed that less than 20 percent of the country's used or unwanted electronics were recycled. Now companies likes Sony, Nokia and Hewlett Packard are creating drop-off centers there to make it easier to properly dispose of their products.

However, illegal dumping sites found in countries like China and India continue to grow. Studies by Greenpeace show exposure to toxins from electronics can lead to developmental problems in children and an increased risk of cancer.
