Rolling Out Project 2

E-Cycling: Is the name of the game. On Friday, we began Project 2. Working with Comcast, we will be assisting the cable company with reaching out to our assigned communities to inform citizens about the "E-Waste, ECO Rally" on March 7th from 7am-12pm. The purpose of the rally is to allow residents the opportunity to properly dispose of any E-Waste or Electronic waste at no charge!

Without events like the "E-Waste Rally" electronics like Televisions, Computers, VCRs, and other electronics would be normally be deposited into our city landfills, potentially causing harm to our health and environment due to the toxicity of E-waste.

Did you know??: A single TV may contain up to 8 pounds of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Beryllium, and a host of other elements.

Did you also know??: E-waste accounts for 2% of the municipal waste stream, but its contribution as toxic waste is 70%.

A Few Good Gentlemen: For this challenge we were broken into our teams... the outcome... Boys verses Girls. Because Erik and Felipe were team leads for Project 1, I was automatically chosen to lead this challenge so... good luck ladies... Game On.

Our Location: The Guys team will be assigned to assist the rally at the Comcast Office at I-25 and Dry Creek. Our role is to invite area residents to dispose of their E-Waste at this location. Our goal is yet to be determined, but for now all you got to know is where the location of our Rally is going to be held...

Do you got a Pen?... What about a piece of Paper?: Please join us at: 183 Inverness Drive West on March 7th for our E-Waste, ECO-Rally! It will be fun and environmentally wise!

Please stay tuned...
~As we roll out Project 2 and begin interacting via online. Follow us as we court our challenge and keep you informed every step of the way! ~

Until next time, Roadrunners!
