Join Us for International E-Waste Day on October 14th!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are excited to announce that October 14th marks International E-Waste Day, a global initiative dedicated to responsible disposal of electronic waste (e-waste). As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, we invite you to join us in this important worldwide event.
\n<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

According to the UN, 8 kg of e-waste per person will be produced worldwide in 2023. This means 61.3 million tonnes of electronic waste is discarded within a year – more than the weight of the Great Wall of China!<\/p>\n

What we are doing:<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2022, Realstar launched a formal e-waste collection and recycling program across our properties, to minimize our environmental impact. Together, we diverted 1,267 pounds of e-waste from landfills, <\/b>minimizing the harmful effects of e-waste on our planet. Going forward, we aim to continue this positive trend and achieve even greater results.<\/p>\n

Here's how you can participate in E-Waste Day on October 14th:<\/b><\/p>\n

\n
1. Gather Your E-Waste: Start by identifying any old or unused electronic devices and accessories you no longer need. This can include old computers, laptops, cell phones, chargers, cables, and other electronic gadgets. Drop off any items at the designated e-waste bin at your building.<\/li>\n
2. Be Mindful of Your Electronic Consumption: As you declutter your electronic devices, take a moment to reflect on your electronic consumption habits. Consider ways to reduce unnecessary electronic purchases and prolong the lifespan of your devices through proper care and maintenance.<\/li>\n
3. Spread the Word: Encourage your friends, neighbours, and family members to participate in E-Waste Day as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   We appreciate your continued support for our e-waste program, and together, we can make a significant difference on October 14th. Let's come together as a community to protect our environment and create a cleaner, greener future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

   Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que le 14 octobre souligne la Journ\u00e9e internationale des d\u00e9chets \u00e9lectroniques, une initiative \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle plan\u00e9taire consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 la mise au rebut responsable des d\u00e9chets \u00e9lectroniques.

   \n<\/p>\n\n

   Le saviez-vous ?<\/strong>
   \nSelon les Nations Unies, nous avons produit 8 kg (17,5 lb) de d\u00e9chets \u00e9lectroniques par personne en 2023. Cela \u00e9quivaut \u00e0 61,3 millions de tonnes de d\u00e9chets \u00e9lectroniques ont \u00e9t\u00e9 mis au rebut en seulement une ann\u00e9e… Cela d\u00e9passe le poids de la Grande muraille de Chine !
   \n
   \nUn beau d\u00e9part !<\/strong>
   \n
   \nEn 2022, Realstar a mis sur pied un programme de collecte et de recyclage des d\u00e9chets \u00e9lectroniques afin de r\u00e9duire l’impact environnemental de toutes ses propri\u00e9t\u00e9s. Durant l’ann\u00e9e, l’ensemble des r\u00e9sidents Realstar ont d\u00e9tourn\u00e9 575 kg (1 267 livres) de d\u00e9chets \u00e9lectroniques des sites d’enfouissement, att\u00e9nuant ainsi leurs effets n\u00e9fastes sur notre plan\u00e8te. \u00c0 l’avenir, nous continuerons d’aller de l’avant et viserons des r\u00e9sultats encore plus significatifs.
   \n

Explorez la possibilit\u00e9 de r\u00e9duire l’achat inutile d’objets \u00e9lectroniques ou de prolonger la dur\u00e9e de vie de vos appareils au moyen de soins et d’un entretien appropri\u00e9.
