We are drawing consumers’ attention to social and environmental problems associated with the production, use and recycling of electronic equipment. It’s hard to imagine today’s world without consumer electronics. Mobile phones, digital cameras, mp3 players, laptops – all these devices have changed our lives, often for the better. However, their arrival has created many new problems all over the world. Our project is directed above all at young people, including students of secondary schools (junior highs and high schools), as well as their teachers. We’d like young people in Poland to know about social abuses and environmental issues that occur all over the world just to fulfill our demand for the latest gadgets. We show consumers opportunities to oppose the violation of human rights, labour rights and environmental degradation at the stages of mining raw materials, manufacturing goods in factories and recycling electronic gadgets. And we want young people in Poland and elsewhere in the world to actively join in to improve the situation. Together we can put pressure on big electronic companies to become responsible for social abuses and environmental damage occurring in their supply chains.
