2 - E-Waste Recycling Program (Example)

Every year, more than 300 million pieces of electronics - computers, cell phones, all kinds of gadgets - are SCRAPPED.

Whether they’re burned or dumped, they leak harmful toxins into the environment, contaminating our water, land and air.

Alex Lin, 14, installed the first ever e-waste receptacle in his town of Westerly, Rhode Island (USA), and pushed for passage of laws banning the dumping of e-waste.

See how he did it in video below.
