How are computers bad for the environment?

Well, you could go into the fact that they take energy, time, loss of productivity, and we as humans rely on them far to often.
 
well there is the fact that they consume energy and that means they are contaminating in an non-direct way because of the contamination that is made when that energy is produced. Also you need to consider all that contamination that are produced by the places where the components ; screens , keyboards, mouses, hard drives , etc. are made . plus the places where they are put together
Also the batteries for laptops are a very bad for the environment if they are not disposed properly
 
Electronic waste or e-waste is discarded, surplus, obsolete, broken, electrical or electronic devices. E-waste can cause serious health and pollution problems because electronic equipment contains some very serious contaminants such as lead, cadmium, beryllium and brominated flame retardants.
