Following The Trail Of Toxic E-Waste
60 Minutes Follows America's Toxic Electronic Waste As It Is Illegally
Shipped To Become China's Dirty Secret
(CBS) 60 Minutes is going to take you to one of the most toxic places on
Earth - a place government officials and gangsters don't want you to see.
It's a town in China where you can't breathe the air or drink the water, a
town where the blood of the children is laced with lead.
It's worth risking a visit because much of the poison is coming out of the
homes, schools and offices of America. This is a story about recycling -
about how your best intentions to be green can be channeled into an
underground sewer that flows from the United States and into the wasteland.
