DESCRIPTION

Hi, I'm Meher Joshi. E-waste and plastic is a big issue. By collecting all the e-waste and plastic bags/bottles from all the houses in my colony and sending them for recycling, I have taken a step towards conserving the environment (I did it in Delhi ). And if I did it, you can do it too!

TRANSCRIPT

People across 5 cities were invited to come out and participate in their recycling drive by depositing their recyclable waste - be it Plastic (bags and bottles), metal, paper, tetrapack cartons or e-waste.

REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE

A lot of people want to do something for the environment but don't know how to go about it.

What is E-Waste?

Anything that has a wire, a plug, a battery or runs on electricity, that you probably aren’t going to use ever again comprises of Electronic waste.

When old electronic items are thrown into a landfill, toxin chemicals such as mercury and cadmium can seep into the ground. For people living close to these landfills, it could mean permanent health damage to the nervous system, kidneys and it could even affect development of children.

Attero is a recycling company which recycles E-waste in an environment friendly way at their plant in Roorkee.

People! Come and do it for the

environment!

Phew!!!It’s been a long

morning…And the lonely

soldier keeps going on…

Very happy!All boxes full!!!

YESSSSS!!!

WE DID IT !!

Here are some tips on E-waste :Lets try and reduce the amount of E-waste in our homes by buying what we need, and not all that we like.

Rather than throwing away your old mobile phones, you could give it to your didis and bhaiyas.

Do not throw your old non-working electronic items in the dustbin and don’t sell them to the local scrap-dealer.

If a lot of E-waste is generated in your parents’ offices, you could call up Attero and ask them to collect it.

If you wish to know their number, you can ask me or Bhavna ma’am or you could just go to their website, www.attero.in , and you’ll find all the details there.

IF YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR A GOOD CAUSE, PEOPLE ARE

BOUND TO JOIN YOU!

DON’T THINK YOU’RE JUST A CHILD.A SMALL STEP OF YOURS CAN BE A

BIG CHANGE !!

IT’S NOT WASTEUNTIL

IT’S WASTED!!

THANKYOU
