Solution of the Week #7
This week’s Solution of the Week responds to the sustainability challenge; specifically, it answers how we can create a sustainable way of life.
Jared D. posts a solution called “Safe Battery Disposal.” Noting the dangers of improper battery disposal, Jared suggests that ASU put battery drop boxes in strategic points all around campus. Once a month, ASU will take the collected batteries to safe disposal locations so that students and their drinking water are kept safe.
Check out his solution here.
I great addition would be a cell phone drop off. A secure container could be put next to the battery drop off. The cell phones can then be given to a company, such as ReCellular, that collects and reprocesses retired phones. http://recellular.com/
The SRC has a battery drop off box at the equipment room.
