Lambton Shores Nature (Malls (LSNT) turns e -waste Into
fundraising for the trails In Lambton Shores and Vicinity!
Lakeshore Advance
Lambton Shores - It's a win win
for the environment and the com-
munity as Lambton Shores Nature
Trails (ESWL') adopts an eco -
friendly and profitable way to raise
money for earth conscious causes,
while addressing the issue of elec-
tronic waste, piling up in landfills.
LSN'I', is a member of Greentec
International's Think Recycle pro-
gram, which collects unwanted
electronics - those unwanted cell
phones, laptops and ink/toner car-
tridges cluttering up our offices,
drawers, basements and garages -
an(f recycles them responsibly in
exchange for fundraising dollars
for the causes of their choice.
'Think Recycle then processes and
recycles the e -waste, diverting it
from local and international land-
fill sites.
"Our core fundraising activities
are great but the Think Recycle
program directly protects the envi-
ronment, „says Lambton Shores
Nature Trails. "'This way, we can
divert harmful and hazardous
waste from entering landfills and
raise funds for great causes at the
Sitllle tittle."
'Think Recycle could not exist at
better time. E -waste is the fastest
growing waste stream worldwide
and each year, for example, more
than 300 million empty printer
cartridges ale generated in North
America alone. 'Think Recycle is
responsible for diverting millions
of cell phones and print cartridges
from landfills, in turn providing
nearly $5 million in fundraising to
its members in exchange for the
e -waste they collect. Ten thousand
AiOur core fundraising activities are
great but the Think Recycle program
directly protects the environment
plus North American schools and
organisations participate in the
Think Recycle program, notes
Greentec President and CEO, Tony
Perl'O(ta.
In addition to giving monetary
rewards to its members for their
efforts, 'Think Recycle donates
funds to have one tree planted
through American Forests or Tree
Canada, for every 24 (Qualifying
Products collected by 1..S.N.1'. 'l'o
date, 'think Recycle is responsible
for the planting of more than
55,000 trees effectively removing
8,700 tons of carbon from the
atmosphere.
'Ibis unique and innovative way
of fundraising allows the commu-
nity to give back, in more ways
than one, without dipping into
their financial bottom line making
the donation process accessible to
everyone.
"With Think Recycle, not only
ate you helping Lambton Shores
Na1inc ('rails generate funding for
the trails in Lambton Shores and
Vicinity but you get to directly pro_
(NI the environment an(I further
our communities green initia-
