Andrew McConnell’s photographs of the suburb of Agbogbloshie in Ghana’s capital, Accra. According to the photographer 20 to 50 million tons of electronics discarded each year 70 percent will end up in poor nations, and in the European union alone 6.6 million tons of e-waste are unaccounted for each year- “ a toxic perversion of the one laptop per child ideals”.

In the Australian context: Australians create about 28 million tonnes of garbage every year. Just over one third of this material is recovered for recycling.

With the notion of vernacular design, can this be a potential to address this issue?
