🌱 Recyclothon 2024: Transforming Notebooks, Transforming Futures! At Youth For Parivarthan we're on a mission to make a difference through Recyclothon 2024. Here's a glimpse of what we do: 1. Collection: Gathering notebooks from designated pick-up points across different locations. 2. Segregation: Sorting and separating pages; keeping the unused parts for reuse while sending the rest for recycling. 3. Categorization: Organizing papers based on types like ruled, unruled, 2 lines, 4 lines, etc. 4. Cutting and Binding: Precisely cutting papers to bind size and stapling them to create new books. 5. Finishing Touches: Taping edges, adding stickers for identification and appeal. 6. Distribution: Delivering these recycled notebooks to enthusiastic young minds in government schools. This initiative not only promotes recycling but also empowers education among children, one notebook at a time. Kudos to all our dedicated Youth For Parivarthan Volunteers for driving this impactful change! 💚📚 #Recyclothon2024 #EducationForAll #YouthForParivarthan

PDX-Earth Tip: The 2024 elections are officially over in the U.S., but what does that mean for the millions of plastic, cardboard, metal and foam core board lawn signs that have been out there swaying opinion for the last few months? Do they magically disappear? Well, no. In the span of just a few hours, those signs go from purpose to trash, yet there is no system in place – not just here in the United States, but anywhere in the world – designed to recover those signs or recycle the materials. And that is a major problem. The scale is immense. In the U.S., in addition to the presidential election, there were 468 House and Senate seats up for grabs, along with hundreds and hundreds of local and state offices, along with measure and initiatives. And more than 80 countries have major elections in 2024, meaning this is a problem everywhere. South Korea collected more than 1,740 metric tons of discarded banners from its April elections. In Ireland, concerns arose over posters covering road signs and forcing cyclists out of bike lanes. During the 2022 elections in The Philippines, 254 metric tons of election garbage were collected, 20% more than during the 2016 elections. In Mexico City, election officials reported that 45 metric tons of election waste had been cleaned up a month after the election in June – but that figure only covered six of the city’s 16 boroughs. Fortunately, there are some options for recycling parts of some signs, particularly if they are cardboard. Those can go into regular recycling. And others that have steel stands can be broken down and the stands recycled as scrap metal. Corrugated plastic signs can also be recycled along with regular trash pick-ups in most areas. But in countries where recycling is less organized – if it exists at all – innovation is key. Two days after the election in Mexico City, the incoming mayor announced that she would collect her election trash and make it into construction materials for her promised community centers. An opposing mayoral candidate said his banners would be made into reusable bags. In Bangladesh, elections in January generated so many tons of posters, banners, cards and leaflets that a local non-profit refashioned the materials into notebooks for the 1,000 children in their orphanages, schools and learning centers. But most environmental experts agree that re-use is the easiest option, meaning the same sign that urged you to vote for a president, a mayor, or a measure can also be used at a birthday, a baby shower or a bar mitzvah.

🌳Was out walking this weekend and saw that some of the farmers have been doing some rewilding... This field that was growing crops a few months ago is now a beautiful meadow (the photo doesn't really do it justice) Just goes to show that we all need to do our part to support the environment. So if you need any help making your IT or printers more sustainable, let me know! For example, did you know that by buying remanufactured laptops instead of new, you can save 190,000 litres of water, per laptop? 🌎 #sustainability #circulareconomy #it

As we take an organization-wide approach to adding recycling services and reducing non-diverted waste services, supported by educational programs to help our employees refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle we are excited about the impact these positive changes will have on our planet. Our Corporate ReUse (CR) program is a multifaceted operation that manages end-of-life processing for company technology equipment ranging from laptops and PCs to peripherals such as LCD monitors, hard drives, wires, printers, batteries, small electronics, and various metals. Once devices reach the end of their life cycles, CR removes all data before proper distribution by selling or donating technology equipment. In August 2023, we made a CR contribution of 93 laptops to Buffalo Prep, a nonprofit organization that focuses on providing educational opportunities and support for talented students from underrepresented backgrounds. “As an alumnus of this impactful nonprofit, my own journey reflects how Buffalo Prep works to empower young minds with tools to unlock educational opportunities, bridging the digital divide and fostering a future where every student can thrive.” Chavuanne Cousins, Head of Wealth Product Management and Member of Buffalo Prep Class of 1999 Learn more about how we are approaching recycling and reduction of waste on page 56 of M&T's latest Sustainability report: http://ms.spr.ly/6045mLBGc #Sustainability #SustainabilityReport

This #InternationalTechRepairDay, let’s rethink how we handle our tech. 💻 When we consider buying a new device, how often do we pause to think that #Recycling or #Repairing the old one could be better for the planet? 🤔 This International Tech Repair Day is all about that for FixMyTek. We want to use this opportunity to raise awareness about the #SustainabilityChallenges in the #TechIndustry, particularly regarding the growing demand for new products and the mishandling of old devices. What happens to the devices we no longer need? Do they sit in our drawers for years, or worse, end up in landfills, releasing toxins, and harming the environment? As business leaders and individuals, it’s crucial for us to reflect on this issue. Sadly, the UK is the second-largest e-waste producer per capita, contributing significantly to the global problem (Check out the stats: https://shorturl.at/Nqe5m) We understand that as #TechRepairBusiness the idea of #Sustainability go far beyond planting more trees (though we love doing that with each repair we take in!). Every effort counts, and at FixMyTek, we’re focused on making tech repair as eco-friendly as we can. That means improving how we handle repairs—using greener products, refurbishing and reusing devices, and ensuring all tech waste is responsibly recycled. (That’s our big picture summed up in a few words) That is why, to better handle #TechWaste this International Tech Repair Day, we’ve launched a fun initiative for our community at University of Bristol and University of the West of England. We’re inviting everyone on campus during the week starting from Tech Repair Day to bring in their old tech, save it from landfills, trade it in for its value, and enjoy some free pizza! 🍕 For all the students and staff reading this post, looking forwards to seeing many of you next week (21st - 25th Oct)! 💚 #fixmytek #UniversityofBristol #BristolUni #UoB #UWE #Sustainable #techrepair #BristolBusiness #TechBusiness #Ewaste #tech #waste
