It is true that the work we do in our communities has a longstanding impact on future generations. This is why Earth Day is so important. This year, Earth Day has our attention for a number of reasons.

First with the intense discussions surrounding climate change, and secondly the impact of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, that has been felt on so many levels. Many of us are wondering what we can do to help those in need. Monetary donations are the first thing that comes to mind. Sure writing a check is great! But think about what types of digital devices laying around your home or office you are no longer using. In such a pivotal time when virtual learning is the new normal, your device can help a student access classes from the comfort of their home, without the risk of spreading the virus.

For over 10 years, our partners at human-IT have led the charge in repurposing tech to help families in need. Their services include machine waste management, device refurbishing, and certified data destruction services that safely wipe sensitive data from your machine. As leaders in this area we are happy to support their mission to not only “Bridge The Digital Divide,” but also to reduce the carbon footprint.
