Students as e-Waste Warriors: Sensitizing about Reducing and Safe Disposal of e-Waste

The Paris Agreement is perhaps the most well-known agreement on climate change mobilizing all the nations under one pact, but what about efforts at an individual level? How will the world even know about the steps that are being taken to combat the growing problems of climate change and waste management? Acknowledging the importance of rewarding and recognizing such efforts, TERI introduced the 'Green Heroes Contest' to honour such initiatives. Kirti Lakhanpal, a 'green hero' herself, shares her experience with e-waste management and how being a part of this campaign has been truly rewarding for her. Kirti started a small movement amongst her students who went back to sensitize their parents and neighbourhoods on reducing e-waste and the need for safe disposal. As part of this effort, students have educated nearly 80 ragpickers on the health hazards of unsafe dismantling of e-waste and convinced them to sell it judiciously to the organized sector.
