?????? Let's celebrate World Environment Day by recognizing the importance of recycling electronic waste (e-waste) and promoting sustainable practices. On June 3rd, 2023, the Swavalamban Avam Swabhimaan Foundation (SAS Foundation) , in association with the Association of Apartments - North Galaxy Avenue (AOA NGA) and EcoVerva , organized an e-waste awareness and collection drive at North Galaxy Avenue, Gaur City 1, Noida Extn. This initiative aimed to educate the community about the significance of e-waste recycling and encourage them to contribute to a greener future.
???? The success of this drive wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of our amazing volunteers. Dr. Nitin Saini , Jyotsana Sinha , and kumar rajan from the Swavalamban Avam Swabhimaan Foundation, Komal Singh , Sunil, and Farmaan Khan from Ecoverva, as well as the students from Tecnia Institute Of Advanced Studies - Jasnoor, Nikhil, Amit, Vanika, Swati, and Risha, selflessly devoted their time and energy to make this event a resounding success. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Ashish Kumar from 塔塔咨询服务公司 for volunteering for this noble cause.
???? In the days leading up to the campaign, our volunteers diligently pasted posters in prominent areas within the apartment society and near lifts to ensure residents were well-informed and prepared for the drive. Additionally, a roadshow and door-to-door campaign were conducted, allowing us to personally engage with residents, raise awareness about e-waste recycling, and inspire them to contribute their e-waste for proper recycling. We were thrilled to witness the overwhelming response from the residents of North Galaxy Avenue, who showed a strong sense of responsibility by wholeheartedly participating and providing their e-waste for recycling.
??? We were honored to have Ms. Sunita Trakroo , a renowned Model, Fashion, Lifestyle, and Fitness Influencer, join us at the campaign drive. Her presence added immense value to the event, drawing attention from a wider audience and amplifying our message about the importance of e-waste recycling. We would also like to express our gratitude to Naveen S. , President of Galaxy North Avenue, for his invaluable support throughout the campaign.

???? Recycling e-waste is not just an option; it is a necessity for the betterment of our environment and the preservation of valuable resources. Here are a few reasons why e-waste should be recycled:
1?? Environmental Protection
E-waste contains hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can leach into the soil and water, posing severe risks to human health and the ecosystem. By recycling e-waste, we can prevent these harmful substances from polluting our environment.
2?? Resource Conservation
Electronics contain valuable materials such as gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements. Recycling e-waste allows us to extract and reuse these precious resources, reducing the need for mining and conserving natural reserves.
3?? Energy Efficiency
Recycling e-waste requires less energy compared to the production of new electronic devices. By recycling, we can minimize energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
4?? Job Creation
E-waste recycling not only benefits the environment but also stimulates economic growth. It creates job opportunities in recycling facilities, repair centers, and refurbishment industries, fostering a circular economy and supporting local communities.
?? Let's work together to build a world where e-waste is seen as a valuable resource, not as disposable waste. By recycling our electronic devices, we can make a significant difference in preserving our environment for future generations.
