Win $1,000 for Going Green: Digital Responsibility E-Waste Scholarship

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), roughly 62 million tons of e-waste was produced globally – and only 22% of that was recycled properly. E-waste, if disposed of unsuitably, can have severe and adverse effects on the environment and people. The first step to combatting this global problem is education. Through the $1K E-Waste Scholarship students can educate themselves and others about e-waste, and more importantly, how to treat it appropriately.
