the machines we use do not last forever.what happens when we can not use them any longer?currently,most of our waste eletrical and electronic equipment (weee) goes straight into landfills.alltgis e-waste is not for environment.
paul bonomini use waste equipment to make the weee man,a 23 ft hight sculpture in england,to remind us that we must less waste.
five fridge, 35 mobile phones,five sandwich toasters and four lawnmowers are parl of the 3.3 tonne sculpture.computer mice are its teeth,vacuum cleaner tubes are its neck and an old washing machine is part of its spine.how can this sculpture change our behaviour?
every one of us should try to make the world a better place.there are a number of things to do.we should try to maintain appliances for as long as possible.we should not throw away old appliances if they are still in working condition.we can repair them,sell them or donate them.we should recycle parts which we can not repair.there are companies that recycle old mobile phones.some companies will buy your old model to use for spare parts.
there are so many things we can do so next time you want to upgrade or replace an old piece of equipment think of the wee and its message " we must not pollute our equipment.our planet is our responsibility.
