My name is David Butita, an environmentalist from Kibabii Village in Bungoma County. I launched a sustainable E-waste management initiative that collects and refurbishes electronic devices like computers for my community. E-waste refers to electronic products that are unwanted, not working, and nearing or at the end of their useful life. When electronics end up in landfills, toxics like lead, mercury, and cadmium leach into the soil and water. The lack of proper facilities for hazardous fractions is challenging, but I believe the private sector help tackle the e-waste crisis.
