‘The dirty little secret of the high-tech industry’

Interview with Jim Puckett, a leading campaigner against the global trade of e-waste. As executive director of the Basel Action Network, the Seattle-based environmental group he helped found in 1997, Puckett has spent more than 20 years educating consumers and governments about the effects of the toxic trade. In this interview, part of FRONTLINE/World’s global investigation into e-dumping, students from the University of British Columbia ask Puckett 10 questions about a business he calls “the dirty little secret of the high-tech industry”.
