Understanding the problem of e-waste in schools

Electronic waste is a growing environmental issue, and schools are key spaces for raising awareness and education about sustainability. With constant technological advances, many electronic devices become obsolete or unusable, and their improper disposal can cause serious damage to the environment and public health.

The importance of environmental education in schools

Incorporating sustainability into the school curriculum goes beyond teaching theoretical concepts; it's about preparing students to adopt responsible practices on a daily basis. Electronic waste can be a starting point for debates on conscious consumption, recycling and reuse, encouraging a culture of respect for the environment.
