Broken electronics are filling landfills all around the globe.

Many electronics that are thrown away contain harmful chemicals.
D
Millions of people who need a cell phone go without one.

Explanation
Broken electronics filling landfills worldwide support the claim because they show that e-waste is harming the environment on a large scale. Harmful chemicals in discarded electronics also support it because those chemicals can damage ecosystems. The other statements either minimize the problem or discuss topics that do not directly support holding an e-waste recycling drive.
