When electronics are thrown out and they either degrade or are burned for precious metals, those compounds are released into the water, soil and air.

While this is a real problem, this is not unique or even new. Electronic waste contains a number of toxic substances, and must be disposed of separate from the normal household waste stream. While acknowledging that this may make the problem worse, it also promises significant benefit.
