“…3: Página da espécie desenvolvido para instruir crianças do ensino primário acerca do impacto da demanda e fornecimento de determinados produtos no meio ambiente [20]. Toxic Release usa de dados sobre poluição para conscientizar alunos e grupos da comunidade quanto aos aspectos invisíveis relacionados à poluição, sendo desenvolvido com o intuito de tornar mais prático o ensino e aprendizado a respeito do tema, uma vez que a liberação de tóxicos provém de variadas fontes poluidoras [21]. Keep Cool online é um jogo de simulação a respeito de mudanças climáticas, jogado em grupo, sendo cada integrante um grupo de países.…”

“…Adeola (2000), for example, reported that people living in the New Orleans metropolitan area expressed their anger and frustrations about government agencies’ failure to provide solutions to health-threatening environmental conditions. Likewise, Gervich et al (2015) reported that local residents of a small city in Louisiana expressed anger toward federal environmental regulators and representatives of a nearby industrial factory for polluting their community.…”

This article examined the extent to which residents living in the Midland–Saginaw–Bay City area in Eastern Michigan felt stigmatized due to industrial contamination. Seventy in-depth interviews were conducted with local residents, focusing on the extent to which they experienced three aspects of stigma—affective, cognitive, and behavioral. Results indicated that although some participants were not concerned with living in a contaminated community, local residents largely perceived dioxin as a risk to individual health and the local environment. Concern, shock, and irritation were typical affective responses at the time participants learned of the contamination. Several participants indicated a feeling of embarrassment and fear of being rejected by others because of the stigma associated with industrial contamination. Instead of actively seeking information about dioxin contamination and remediation, participants often relied on information provided to them by government officials. Behaviorally, participants avoided eating locally caught fish and prepared fish more carefully in order to avoid exposure to contaminants. As a whole, this study provided insight to understand affective, cognitive, and behavioral responses to environmental stigma.

“…The informally recyclers that are involved in the WEEE management lack appropriate training for the task and are ignorant of the health and environmental consequences of the business [39,40] (p. 11) [41,42]. The health and environmental impacts of the release of hazardous elements are not easy to identify by those involved [43]. Stopping the unlawful importation of WEEE into the country is not enough to put an end to the challenges associated with WEEE management.…”

Enhancement of WEEE Management Practices in MTN Phone Village, Rumukurushi, Port Harcourt, Nigeria

Informal recycling has been a source of challenges to a mobile telephone network (MTN) phone village in Rumukurushi, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and several locations in developing countries. In order to bring a lasting solution to the menace of informal recycling in this location, the study proposed a new waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) management system. The system comprises the application of two key concepts. The first concept includes limiting the activities of informal recyclers to WEEE collection only. This implies WEEE treatment, dismantling, etc., are carried out by government-approved agencies and experts. The second concept involves the application of the just-in-time (JIT) management concept for managing WEEE. The concept ensures that WEEE is only requested from the recycler or the individuals in possession of it and only on demand. The study adopted a qualitative research approach. Data collection and analysis were achieved via semi-structured phone interviews and thematic analysis, respectively. The outcome of the study limits the activities of the informal recyclers to WEEE collection. Informal recyclers gain revenue from collection. A reduction in the waiting time of workers and WEEE storage space is achieved. This offers safety, efficiency, and an increased productivity. This will help to revolutionise the WEEE management system in the location.
