Green Christmas Tip
Feeling the need to buy, buy, buy and get the latest gaming consoles and upgrades at this time of year can be quite overwhelming.
This took me back to the amazing film we showed at the Festival of Solution with the help of the Down to Earth Film team called Welcome to SodomOver 250,000 tons of electronic waste are shipped to Ghana each year to be recycled under almost apocalyptic conditions. Here, thousands of children and adults (6,000 half of the population of Lockleaze) work on disassembling flat screens, telephones and laptops in the open air, in an artificial and endless landscape of trash, while others extract copper by melting old cables over an open fire. ‘Welcome to Sodom’ (which is the title of a rap song in the film) placed us right in the middle of the location’s dark heart.
But there is an alternative to this we can recycle our unwanted electrical goods and make some money by selling them on ‘Gumtree‘ a free online selling website or giving it away on the many ‘Buy Nothing’ Facebook groups in Bristol.
