Working with others can make a real difference |
Reducing e-waste is a global challenge, but action at a local level is what it takes to achieve a meaningful impact. Since the launch of the Rethink Initiative in January 2005, we’ve received many inquiries about how to organize local collection drives and recycling events. In response to this need, we’ve brought together a number of resources and programs that can help you find other individuals and organizations looking to make a difference in your area.
