Water pollution damages aquatic wildlife, as well as the land wildlife that uses this water. The chemicals that the water is polluted affected animals by hurting their digestive system and damaging their body parts. Plant roots absorb these chemicals, damaging and eventually killing the plant.

Air pollution damages animal's respiratory systems, leading to weak immune systems. Depending on the severity of the air pollution, it could lead to disruption of endocrine function, organ injury, increased vulnerability to stresses and diseases, lower reproductive success, and possible death. Air pollution also affects plants by entering the plant while it absorbs CO2, and affecting the functions of the plant.

Pollutes soil, which leads to toxic chemicals being absorbed by plants, affecting their ability to absorb CO2 and eventually killing them. Herbivories that eat these poisoned plants are also poisoned, and these chemicals go up the food chain.

Some electronic parts can release toxins into water bodies (rivers/lakes)

Some electronic parts don't biodegrade properly

Many people don't know how to/don't recycle electronics properly

Computers use lots of energy in both processing power and keeping the machine cold. This power could be received from non-renewable sources.

Valuables require packaging for protection, which may be excessive & non-recyclable

Transportation uses fossil fuels

Toxins and chemicals may dissolve into water during cleaning, which may leak into water bodies

Chemical pollutants are released into air

Remaining waste, including tons of used chemicals/toxins, dumped into landfills

Fossil fuels, toxins, & chemicals used repeatedly to process materials/manufacture
