people impacted:

8

people involved:

1

why it's important:

This is important to me because our land fills are being over run by electrical materials that can be repaired and refurnished. Getting to these items before it reaches it final resting place than could greatly reduce the amount of electronical devices being thrown away.

the plan of action:

My plan of action is to repair and refurbish video game systems as a way to prevent them from ending up in land fills.

how you can get involved:

Others can help by thinking of repairing problematic items instead of throwing it out.
