Small electronics play a massive role in our lives, from smartphones to tablets, but what happens when they’re no longer useful? These devices form a significant part of the e-waste problem, contributing to environmental damage if not disposed of properly.
Did you know?
– Most people keep devices for 3-5 years, but they often accumulate unused gadgets at home due to uncertainty about recycling.
– Lack of infrastructure and awareness makes proper disposal challenging, despite rising concerns about the toxic impact of e-waste.
– Engaging youth is key, but many educators face barriers like socio-economic inequalities and insufficient educational resources.
At OSCAR, we’re empowering youth and educators to turn the tide on e-waste! By promoting sustainable practices like recycling, reusing, and proper disposal, we’re building a cleaner planet while fostering innovation and economic growth.
Our focus? To create hands-on, engaging learning tools—like augmented reality, creative arts, and service-learning projects—that connect youth to actionable solutions. Together, we can transform e-waste management into a movement for a sustainable future!
Let’s take action—because small devices shouldn’t leave a big mark.
