e-waste
Join T2A webchat at 1800 UTC. We learn about efforts to properly dispose of tech trash, old computers and electronics. Many companies and organizations responsibly recycle e-Waste. But a lot of e-Waste is illegally exported and dumped in primitive electronic waste processing systems in developing countries.

statue
At 1800 UTC, we met with Barry Moreno, the librarian and historian at Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty National Monument. We get a preview of a special Independence Day event that will allow visitors to enter the giant crown structure on top of the Statue of Liberty. That part of the landmark was closed for safety reasons after the 9-11 terror attacks. As of July 4th, visitors can reach the crown by climbing a 168-step staircase.
