How 'donations' from the West are inundating Ghana with toxic waste
from Özel masallah podcast · host Sara Elfakhari
When Americans no longer want a car, laptop or clothes, where do some of those goods go? Most end up in the Global South, where millions of people depend on repairing, dismantling or selling them for a livelihood. Environmental groups say this is a toxic trifecta of waste that inflicts damage to land, coastlines and health. Fred de Sam Lazaro reports in partnership with the Pulitzer Center.
