Community Benefit

Facing the rising use of electronic devices and their waste into the environment (144.000 tons of waste annually in Canada), Consortium Évolution offers to organize an educational workshop to raise awareness and educate young people about the misuse generated by overconsumption of natural resources, and the impact of these electronic gadgets on the environment if not recycled. The ultimate purpose of this approach will aim at changing young people's attitude towards their game habits, consumption and how to dispose of their electronic gadgets. We believe that reducing the consumption and disposal of electronic gadgets will help preserve the natural resources and environment of our planet. The gain from this awareness will be beneficial because it will provide a better living environment for all.
