w88 casino News Network (Reporters Wang Kebing and Huang Wei)At 8 pm on April 10, 2007, the launching ceremony of the electronic waste recycling event co-sponsored by the w88 casino Computer and Network Association, Green Association, and Love Society was held in Classroom 202 of the Honesty Building. This e-waste recycling activity is, on the one hand, an effort for environmental protection; on the other hand, it is also a way to accumulate experience in strengthening exchanges and cooperation among fraternal societies on campus.
According to the host, toxic substances used in the production process of electronic products are polluting the environment in China and other developing countries. At the same time, after foreign electronic products are discarded, most of them will be shipped to China for dismantling and discarding, causing secondary pollution. China has become the world's largest e-waste dumping ground, with Guangdong and Zhejiang the most serious. For the sake of small profits, local people have introduced large quantities of electronic waste for processing, regardless of the environmental affordability, which has greatly threatened the environment on which human beings depend for survival. Therefore, the Computer and Network Association, the Green Association and the Love Club hope that through this e-waste recycling event, students will be aware of the e-waste around them, understand the methods of handling e-waste and the hazards of improper handling, properly place e-waste, and maximize the use of waste within the scope of the situation. In order for this event to be carried out smoothly, the organizer collects used electronic waste by raising funds, and uses technological advantages to transform and reuse the usable parts. The transformed parts will be donated free of charge to individuals or organizations in need such as primary schools for children of migrant workers. Knowledge lectures will also be held to promote the dangers of electronic waste and the correct method of handling electronic waste.
Zhang Ying, vice president of the Green Association, summarized the work in the previous stage and announced the results of the questionnaire. Most students own electronic products and are willing to dispose of these used electronic products in the correct way. The Computer Network Association, Green Association and Love Society will carry out door-to-door recycling of used electronic waste from April 9 to April 26. At the same time, this activity also has a recycling point at Hongyuan Plaza for on-site recycling of used electronic waste.
Greenpeace, as a partner of this event, also participated in the e-waste recycling launch ceremony. Laifeng, a core member of Greenpeace Beijing and international w88 major Grade 05, spoke on behalf of the group. He first introduced Greenpeace and Greenpeace's efforts in promoting global environmental protection to the students through a video. He then showed precious photos collected by Greenpeace in Guiyu Town, Guangdong Province. (Guiyu Town, Guangdong Province is the world’s largest e-waste dumping ground, collecting 80% of the world’s e-waste.) From the photos, we saw mountains of e-waste, oily black water, and migrant workers who were completely exposed to toxic substances in order to make money. The shocking photos gave the students a great visual impact and also sounded the alarm in their hearts.
Liu Fanglei, a representative of the Computer Network Association, briefly introduced the recycling process. It is reported that the e-waste recycling is divided into two stages: the preparatory stage and the activity stage, which last for a month. During this month, in addition to organizing questionnaire surveys, the three major associations will also hold activities such as signature collection, electronic product recycling, donation of assembled electronic products, and closing ceremonies. E-waste collected during the event will be professionally processed, to minimize the harm.
Finally, the heads of the Computer and Network Association, the Green Association and the Love Society came to the stage and jointly announced that the e-waste recycling event had officially begun.
This e-waste recycling event jointly launched by the three major associations can not only properly handle the e-waste that cannot be placed in the hands of students, but also maximize the use of these wastes within the scope of circumstances. We hope that students will actively participate in recycling activities and contribute to environmental protection.
News Network reporters will conduct follow-up interviews on e-waste recycling activities, so stay tuned.
