Title:

E-WASTE DEFINED

Description:

"Donating your old electronic devices can be rewarding, as can selling your old gadgets and making a few bucks. In both cases, don’t linger too long – electronic devices depreciate in value and usefulness very quickly. Keep your gadgets organized, this way you won’t make impulsive purchases, and you will have enough time to be rid of ones you don’t need. The definition of E-Waste doesn’t have to mean something negative. Together we can turn e-waste into tomorrow’s solutions. This is from an article that appeared on All Green Website: " – PowerPoint PPT presentation
