Conclusion to E-Recycling

For the past month or so, we have focused on E-recycling. We learned about what it is, the health risks, as well as the effects of E-waste on the environment. We also met up with Nigel from Free Geek, and we had a great interview with him (Part two still coming!).

For the next month, we will shift our focus to our big event in March. We’ll also be telling you about some other events that we are affiliated with, as well as we will continue to focus on interviewing local companies and organizations in British Columbia. We will also begin to interview the panelists, companies, and organizations that will be at our renewable energy event in March.

We also want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season! =)

Interview with Nigel from Free Geek-Part 1

I had the pleasure to go to Free Geek Vancouver to see this awesome and  progressive non-profit. As I came in to the building at 1820 Pandora St, Vancouver, BC V5L 1M5 and as walked into the door, I saw the store. My eyes immediately lit up, and the consumer was screaming at seeing the prices of this Mac laptop that was only $150 dollars. As I was waiting for Nigel for the interview; I could not believe all the junk people throw out and how Free Geek turned it into something useful. Seems like they are following the old phrase of turning nothing into something, and I pinched myself that all these laptops, chargers and DVDs were at one time labelled as junk or waste of old electronics. But, Free Geek used this junk and turned it into something brand new.
