E-waste which is a major source of toxic elements like Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, etc. can prove to be quite dangerous if not disposed responsibly. Hence it is necessary that e-waste is not only handled safely, but is also handled by trained professionals else it could also prove to be fatal.
Pledge You E-Waste
The sun’s brighter, the night clearer; our air and rivers cleaner; birds and animals are being sighted in the urban jungle. Clearly, with humans in lockdown, nature is flourishing. Our lifestyle choices of the past few decades have definitely extracted a heavy price on Mother Earth. As we sit at home twiddling our thumbs, maybe we can spend some time reconsidering these choices.
Can we pledge that for every new electronic we purchase, we dispose off of our e-waste responsibly?
