Lion's Club mega campaign on e-waste campaign

Report: Debolina Dutta

Lions Club is a mega campaign for e-waste management of the district at the international level. Open the drawer and you'll see the extra cords, wires, old phones that were once smart, flash drives, and what you have. And the pandemic has forced touch screens as our primary way to touch and connect with others around the world. We don't abandon our old gadgets because who knows we might need them someday. And then we don't throw them away because we can't put it in the trashcan. So we have drawers and cabinets unused electronics.

Lions of India is launching a month-long e-waste awareness and collection drive.

This e-waste will also address Gen Z and millennial concerns about the climate

Communities Lions Clubs nationwide 

E-waste management is the responsibility of every individual. To create that awareness, there will be multiple cities in India from January 13 to February 13, 2023. There will also be made amplification to send a message to the nation. Mobiles and laptops

can be used to promote computer literacy and provide almost free access to technology to the needy people of the society.

In the city of Kolkata, they will start the campaign on January 13 at 2.00 pm with a drive at 2.00 pm, Camac Street, Kolkata. 

Throughout the month, they will conduct raids on schools, colleges, residential complexes, business establishments. They hope to make it an annual drive until we all dispose of the waste responsibly.
