Ewaste Epidemic

Did you know the world discards over 50 million tons of electronic waste every year? That's like stacking up 4,500 Eiffel Towers made entirely of tossed-out gadgets! But this isn't just a heap of old electronics—it's a looming environmental disaster. Toxic chemicals are seeping from this e-waste into our soil and water, threatening wildlife and our own health. And here's the kicker: only a tiny fraction gets recycled properly. So where does the rest go? And how is it impacting you right now?

Testimonies

My daily routine has changed dramatically ever since I’ve gotten my computer, I no longer have to wake up 1 hour earlier than usual to turn on my old family computer in order for it to start on time. I can now turn on my own computer with a simple click of a button.

Getting this laptop was a dream come true! I can finally join my classmates online and keep up with school work. It’s changed everything for me—thank you!

Sarah, 14

I go to school in person most of the time, but when someone who I was around has covid I have to stay home. The school would give me a Chromebook that I could use, but it was slow and would often freeze on me. I sometimes would fall behind in my classwork, but now there is nothing holding me back
