World's Largest Electronic Waste Dump
Ghana is the first country Ive visited in Western Africa and today is the last day before I fly back to the UK. Before I left Ghana I really wanted to head to Agbogbloshie to see the World's Largest Electronic Waste Dump which is near Accra the capital of Ghana. I genuinely couldn't believe what I was witnessing! It was like a film set!

Just makes me think how lucky I am to have the life I got already, these are real men working in harsh conditons just to feed their families without luxuries, pure love for these hard working men.
They definitely saw you coming, paying a "chief" so you could walk round a scrap yard lol

This was really an eye opener. We live in such a privileged world, not a second thought to throwing our electronic shit away and buy a new one. There needs to be a new way to dispose and recycle all this poison. Poor people working there in hazardous conditions.

HELLO SIMON Just wanna say that u are a huge inspiration and one of the few youtubers that rlly appreciates thier viewers and loves them as much as I do you videos They teach me so much as how I can survive if I was ever broke or home alone etc. But honestly keep doing what your doing and be positive through current times

Hi Simon, your videos have been amazing and great to rewatch some of them during lockdown! I hope you and your family are all well and can’t wait for you to get back on the road! Stay safe!! 👏👏
Khaled a solid guy! Thanks for travelling and continuing to open my eyes to this interesting world!
Do you know what's crazy I've been watching some of your old videos about 50 times (btw I've watched all of your videos) It always happens just started watching the old video's since yesterday and you upload today, Just wanted to say I love your videos
I’ve missed your vlogs! I’m glad you uploaded a new video and what a legend for helping out other people. Stay safe Simon!
Cheers from Germany mate! Thanks for keeping us entertained for years now, you're doing an amazing job with your videos!
petition for simon to get a gimbal. he doesn't make enough apparently.
Crazy. I learned about this in my Bio 1 class a couple months back.
Loving going through all your videos Simon pal, getting me through lockdown!
So glad your back mate. Your no money challenges are helping me get through lockdown. Cheers

"Ahh I don't think that's supposed to be on fire is it?" Cracked me up 😂
you're really inspiring, helping ppl and appreciating what they do
Ive just started watching your videos and have already binge watched all your main series, absolutely love your work and find your videos really inspiring. I was wondering if you have any plans on doing a sit-down covid video, just explaining your mindset coming into these lockdown and your thoughts on your channel growth in the future because I would be very interested to see how this has been effecting someone whose life revolves around travel so much. Respect

I was watching a few other documentaries here on KZread about this economic reality. If the Government funded some organized processing facilities where these people could all work and continue to do thier thing, it could work out. Although they should also have access to personal protective gear. Hard working people that deserve much much more.

Wow.. lived in Ghana for 3 years and never knew about this! Gotta love the water bags they brought to put out the fire. Remember them selling those on the streets along with the frozen Tampico and Fan Ice ice cream bags.
This video mad my day Simon mate
This is a recycling area not a "dump" if you ask me they sell them to manufacturing factories

Will you try a no money challenge now with coronavirus restrictions?
Bit random but watching your vidoes has just helped me through withdrawal from opiods. I`ve had a life long battle with addiction which is now won. Your positivity is magnetic and the fact that you`re also an LFC fan makes me wonder if you are a gift from God. Thnx Simon , you`ll never know the light you shone upon my darkest hours.
