E-Waste Recycling Program
Submitted by Charles on Tuesday, 18 November 20083 Comments
Every year, more than 300 million pieces of electronics - computers, cell phones, all kinds of gadgets - are SCRAPPED.
Whether they’re burned or dumped, they leak harmful toxins into the environment, contaminating our water, land and air.
Alex Lin, 14, installed the first ever e-waste receptacle in his town of Westerly, Rhode Island, and pushed for passage of laws banning the dumping of e-waste.

On other hand the use of computer is confined to state offices and some private business centers. Especially the youth are not access to use it. There for we have program and project to access the youth to IT.
