Grade 11 students from the University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) recently launched school-wide electronic waste campaigns.

Aside from spreading awareness among students, faculty, and staff on the dangers and proper handling of e-waste, the campaigns also aim to collect e-waste that will then be sent to a licensed e-waste recycling facility. The project was launched in cooperation with UP Circuit as a major requirement in Science 11.

11-GL Jaena’s E-Ways over E-Waste involved room-to-room campaigns at the Grades 7-12 building to inform students about e-waste and to introduce their Beemo-inspired deposit boxes where students can deposit their own e-waste.

Meanwhile, Grades 3-6 welcomed 11 – F Del Mundo’s Save the Motherboard which involves superheroes Rihanna Reuse, Richard Reduce, and Rachel Recycle. The campaign has two main activities, the Cleanest Homeroom Challenge: E-waste Edition and the Launchpad, an exhibit that aims to give basic information on e-waste.

11 – CF Calderon’s campaign at K-2 dubbed Super E-roes also included room-to-room activities where they taught a song-and-dance number. Aside from this, they also facilitated an educational game on proper e-waste disposal.

E-waste deposits will be accepted until May 5. //by Bryan Lina and Trisa de Ocampo
