What Can You Do?

This alarming challenge requires the support of every person on a grassroots level. Learn below how you can make a difference.

Steps You Can Take :

Re-evaluate. Do you really need that extra gadget? Try finding one device with multiple functions.

Extend the life of your electronics. Buy a case, keep your device clean, and avoid overcharging the battery.

Buy environmentally friendly electronics. Look for products labeled Energy Star or certified by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT).

Donate used electronics to social programs—and help victims of domestic violence, children safety initiatives, environmental causes, and more. For each item received, the World Wildlife Fund will receive one dollar.

Reuse large electronics.

Recycle electronics and batteries in e-waste recycling bins located around campus. Large electronics can go in the larger bins found in your building.
