Tech Tinkers #4

Currently, we live in a tech-savvy world, where when new versions of technology come, it is instantly purchased and the old ones are disposed of, especially during holidays. Considering that Black Friday is in a few months, there will be various promotions on new phones, computers, and other devices, in which old devices will either be handed off to younger members of the family or will be disposed of. However, there are many environmental implications of this. Considering that our initiative tackles the issue of e-waste and encourages people to donate their devices for reuse, it is important for our initiative to be aware of the consumption patterns of devices as well. This issue is not only a local issue in Singapore but a global one, as globally, devices are disposed of in an environmentally unfriendly manner, hence producing harmful fumes and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, it is important to not only raise awareness locally but globally to combat the issue of e-waste and the associated environmental implications.
