Using the hashtag #amnesteee we will attempt to educate the public as to how and where they can recycle electronics, the impact of WEEE on the environment and humanity, as well as how their actions can contribute to a circular economy in electronics and a more sustainable future, much in the same way that they have become engaged with the negative aspects of single-use plastics.
