"We love the latest gadgets. But Australians generate more than 140,000 tonnes of electronic waste (e-waste) each year and most of it ends up in landfill."

WHAT... HOW... E-WASTE....?
We live in a digital world where we use so many electronic devices in our daily lives. However, do we know what to do when they stop working or when we do not need them anymore?
In the video above, we created a short scene play about e-waste, as we wanted to emphasise a better and greener way to get rid of unwanted electronic goods, instead of going with our first instinct of throw it in the bin. By thinking about the many ways of disposing our unwanted devices we could take part in contributing a little into saving our environment in the ways as we explored in the video.
