When Alex was in the 5th grade,he read an alarming article in the newspaper,which said that people
were1old computers in backyards,throwing TVs into streams,and dumping cell phones in the
garbage.This is dangerous because e-waste contains harmful2that can leak into the environment,
getting into crops,animals,water supplies-and people.
Alex was worried and decided to make it the next project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network.
Alex and six of his friends had3 this organization to help solve community problems two years
before
But what could they do about this project with e-waste The team spent several weeks gathering
information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans.They leamned how to dispose
(of e-waste4 and how it could be recycled.Then,they sent out a survey and found only one
in eight knew what e-waste was,let alone how to dispose of it.
Alex and his friends went into action.They advertised in the local newspaper and5notices to
students,asking residents to bring their6electronics to the school parking lot.The7 lasted
two days,and they collected over 9,500 kilograms of e-waste.
The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town.After some research,
they'd leamned that reusing is the best way to8electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient
than recycling.So,they began learning to refurbish()computers themselves and distributed them to
students who didn't have their own.In this way,they could help students in the area and protect the
environment at the same time.
For a9 solution to e-waste,the drop-off center wasn't enough.Laws would have to be passed.
In 2016,WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town,which required companies that manufactured or
sold electronics to take back e-waste.The bill clearly_10the dumping of e-waste.
Because of the work of WIN,more and more people,like Alex and his team,are getting the message
about the safe disposal of e-waste.As Alex says,"Today's technology should not become tomorrow's
harful garbage.
