WHAT IS E-WASTO?
E-Wasto aims to raise awareness and support by educating electronic consumers about the proper handling and disposal of e-waste, the challenges e-waste imposes on our health and environment, and how individuals can help in reducing e-waste by providing educational contents on different online platforms, specifically in social media. The project's target audience is mostly adolescents, as electronic devices are especially needed in an online learning setting. Additionally, E-Wasto exhorts its audience to donate electronic waste to the team so that we can deliver it to social organizations that repairs and refurbishes e-waste.
Through this project, the team believes that we can achieve a more sustainable environment by minimizing the production of e-waste and conserving resources. Furthermore, E-Wasto welcomes partnerships and is open to individuals, groups, and companies who are willing to extend support, especially monetary assistance, to help achieve the project's goals.
MISSION
E-Wasto is on a mission to implement sustainable solutions to challenges in waste management induced by the mounting extent of electronic waste production. The founders of E-Wasto aim to raise awareness about one of the drawbacks of digital technology, which is the waste generated by the disposal of electronic products, by utilizing online platforms facilitated by ICT. In this advocacy project, we would highly encourage the users of digital devices to take part in the following methods and actions to lessen e-waste:
(1) recycling their used and old devices,
(2) lengthening the devices’ lifespan as much as possible,
(3) deleting emails,
(4) donating their used and old devices to social programs, and
(5) donating e-waste for eco-bricks.
VISION
The founders of E-Wasto envision a paradigm shift from the lack of awareness about the worsening environmental issues including pollution and a variety of health concerns caused by the improper disposal of electronic and digital wastes, to an extensive sense of urgency among all users of cyberspace and digital devices. Our advocacy project intends to help society move in the right direction with technology rapidly taking over the world.
