What are the benefits to re-using a computer in a school in Africa?
The manufacturing of every new computer produces 650 kg of CO2. The vast majority of computers that are recycled have not reached the end of their useful life. By re-using computers Camara is lowering the demand for the manufacture of new PCs therefore preventing needless emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. It costs a school in Africa considerable less to purchase a refurbished computer for Camara than it does to purchase a new one, this saving can be used to develop the educational system within the school or pay a teacher. Each computer bought is fully loaded with educational resources specifically designed to aid education.
