When Alex Lin was 11,he read an article about electronic waste,or e-waste,and its
harmful effects due to toxic substances like mercury and lead )Concemed,he discussed the
issue with his classmates from the Westerly Innovations Network(WIN),an organization they
091102
formed to solve community problems.
To address the e-waste issue,Alex and his friends began by educating themselves on the
chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans.They then conducted a survey to assess the
situation in their town and discovered a significant lack of awareness about e-waste.Disturbed
by their findings,including a case of a man dumping old computers in his backyard,they
decided to act.
They organized a two-day e-waste collection drive at a school parking lot,collecting over
21,000 pounds of e-waste.This included out-of-date computers from the school system.Alex'
team then sct up a permanent e-waste drop-off center for the town and found a responsible
company to recycle the waste,ensuring it wouldn't be shipped overseas where it could cause
harm.
Understanding that reusing is more efficient than recycling,Alex's team also focused on
refurbishing ()old computers.They persuaded their school to teach students how to
refurbish donated computers,and they distributed 260 computers to students in need,making a
direct impact on their education and the environment.
