Just Used Tech Delivers Two-Day E-Waste Awareness Session with Heroes Dreams Alive Foundation
"You can be one of the change makers of circular economy." These were the words of Just Used Tech's Founder and CEO, Titobi Oreolorun, as he addressed students during a two-day virtual e-waste awareness engagement with Heroes Dreams Alive Foundation, held for 26 students of the Kids Tech Bootcamp 1.0, Kwara State.
Facilitated by Olumide Kolawole, Lagos State Coordinator, and Daniel Yashim, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Officer at Just Used Tech, and hosted by Mr. Temilade Adepegba of Heroes Dreams Alive Foundation, the first session introduced students to the fundamentals of electronic waste, its impact on public health and the environment, and the importance of responsible disposal. The second session went further into circular economy principles and environmental sustainability, drawing a clear line between linear systems that waste resources and circular systems that reuse and extend the life of products.
Students learned that improperly discarded electronics leach harmful chemicals into the soil and water, contributing to pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
The students had a highly interactive and gamified session with our founder who placed emphasis on the fact that there's a responsible way to start recycling e-waste, challenging them to become eco-champions who guide their families and communities toward donating, repairing, and choosing refurbished devices instead of throwing them away in bins or selling the devices to informal scrap dealers.
Just Used Tech appreciates Heroes Dreams Alive Foundation for the opportunity to be part of its Kids Tech Bootcamp 1.0 and for its continued collaboration in advancing environmental education for young people.
