@xjasminelu@hci.social I read it - it's good, pretty in-depth, and I identified a lot with many of the comments and complaints from the study participants. One note: a probable text error - the introduction section states: > E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world, with reports of 53.6 metric > tons of waste having accumulated worldwide in 2019 (with projections of 74 metric > tons by 2030) Should those be millions of tonnes? I'm pretty sure that's the scale of the problem...
