Scrap

For my action plan, I volunteered at Kramden in Durham. They divided us into groups; some of us programmed ubuntu onto computers to repurpose them, some of us cleaned the desktops, and the rest were placed in scrap. I worked in the scrap area, where we separated parts (power supplies, wires, etc.) from broken or unusable computers. I learned that there is so much e-waste in our community, by separating parts made of different materials, we can either repurpose them or dispose of them properly. This volunteering opportunity also opened my eyes as to how many underprivileged families do not have access to a working computer.
