E-Waste Can Ed-u-cate
Did you know that the EPA estimates that over 70 million computers are being taken out of service each year, consisting of over 5 billion pounds of potential electronic waste contamination? Only a fraction of these systems are ever put back into service creating a major safety hazard for our environment. As responsible members of the community, Cardi’s has partnered with the Autism Project of Rhode Island to turn your unwanted computers, monitors, keyboards and other electronic equipment into a donation to the Autism Project of RI where you can not only support educational programs designed exclusively for individuals with autism but you can clean up the environment as well.
It’s easy to participate:
Bring your electronic items to the Cardi’s West Warwick location on Saturday, September 20, 2008 from 10:00AM-2:00PM.
What a great way to clean your house, your environment and donate to the Autism Project of RI. Any questions please contact mary@theautismproject.org.
