There are benefits to using your device as long as it still works: 1) your wallet and 2) the environment. Then please donate it to an organization that will refurbish it, wipe it clean and donate it to somebody in need. This is called circular economy. Tech bros don't want you to do this.

"The regulation in particular introduces a mandatory target for recycled plastics and opens the possibility to set future targets for recycled steel, aluminium, and critical raw materials," the council said.

Here are the results for a few more of the globalization survey questions. I know it's hard to see some of the data in the countries of the participants. I am still new with this app so I haven't figured out how to expand that yet but I think you get the idea.

It's #GlobalRecyclingDay! Recycling keeps valuable materials in use so we don't have to extract more from our precious environment. While it's important to practice the higher tiers of this list first, it's still important to remember to recycle what you can. 💡 #CircularEconomy #Plastics

Waste hierarchy, from top to bottom: refuse and reduce; share, reuse, repair; recycle; recover; landfill. Icons represent each tier. The best tier at the top is refuse and reduce. The middle tier, "recycle", is highlighted as it's Global Recycling Day.

I (Alex) had an X account that I never used because nobody there was interested in talking to a teen about recycling electronics. I deleted it today. My brother, Sam, and I are happy to make Bluesky our new online home. 🦋🍁♻️ Let's talk recycling and reusing old electronics! #sustainability
