What happens to your old phone, computer, or TV once you’re done with it?
Attendees participated in an eye-opening evening exploring the hidden costs of electronic waste (e-waste) and the powerful solutions already within reach. Together we watched a short documentary and local news feature that reveal the local and global impacts of e-waste—from environmental damage to health risks.
Maria Jensen, Co Director of Recycling Electronics for Climate Action, shared about the solutions that are not only protecting our planet and tackling climate change, but also have real economic opportunities for our communities.
