There are benefits to using your device as long as it still works: 1) your wallet and 2) the environment. Then please donate it to an organization that will refurbish it, wipe it clean and donate it to somebody in need. This is called circular economy. Tech bros don't want you to do this.

I will be contacting local politicians in Canada to try to get them involved in the electronics reuse & recycling program that I am involved on. Will you respond to my survey to help me build a case? Details and link in my blog post: earthlyalex.wordpress.com/2025/08/08/h... #youth #climatechange

My brother, Sam, and I make a great team. We have almost doubled the number of electronic waste that I collected on my own last year. Only 3 more to go! Also, we are very close to surpassing the milestone of 350 items collected since the very beginning! We have until August 31st. ♻️💻🍁 #ewaste

Grateful to Mayor West for inviting my brother Sam and me to his 2nd Sustainability Series event this past week. It was a pleasure to attend and share our passion for responsible electronics recycling. Here's Sam with Mayor West, showcasing our homemade sales aid.

Here are the results for a few more of the globalization survey questions. I know it's hard to see some of the data in the countries of the participants. I am still new with this app so I haven't figured out how to expand that yet but I think you get the idea.

Thank you everybody who responded to my survey. I have to finish my report today but here is the wordcloud that I was able to make from all your responses about what the word "globalization" means to you.

Bonjour! This is for a school project related to la "Loi canadienne sur la protection de l’environnement". I am supposed to analyze 3 comments that I get on this post, so if you have a comment, thank you for sharing it. Your comment can be in French or English. #sustainability #francais #teacher
