Recycling Electronic Waste - A Smart Move


Children are becoming increasingly aware of the need to recycle and reduce energy use. e-Day 2008 is an initiative to promote the recycling of e-waste. Old mobile phones, PCs, adaptors are too often ending up at NZ landfills. e-Day has been organised to give kiwis the opportunity to bring in their old mobile phones and PCs, to clean house (and garage) and to do it in a way that is gentler on the planet.

The Minister for the Environment, Trevor Mallard MP, this week launched e-Day in Wellington with e-Day Chair Lawrence Zwimpfer and around 35-40 other guests in attendance. More information about e-Day can be found at www.eday.org.nz

Why not make it a family event, tidy up the unused e-waste and teach the kids about care for the environment?
