The document summarizes the author's observation of a group that refurbishes donated computers for donation to local organizations. The group meets weekly at a member's workshop to inspect, repair, and install operating systems on donated machines. Members collaborate to complete hardware and software tasks on a range of computer models. Experienced members mentor newcomers, and the organized workspace supports the learning process as members work together to prepare computers for community organizations in need.
E-waste, also known as electronic waste, refers to discarded electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, and other electronic equipment. This waste contains hazardous and non-biodegradable materials, including heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium, as well as other toxic chemicals, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), brominated flame retardants, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Finding obsolete electronic components can be challenging, but here are a few tips to help:
• Check with the manufacturer: Sometimes, the manufacturer may still have inventory of the obsolete component or a suitable replacement.
• Search online: There are many online distributors that specialize in hard-to-find and obsolete components. You can use websites like Digi-Key, Mouser, or Newark to search for the component you need.
• Look for surplus dealers: Surplus dealers purchase and sell excess or discontinued components. They can be a good source for obsolete parts.
• Consider refurbished components: Refurbished components are used parts that have been restored to their original condition. They can often be a more cost-effective alternative to new components and may still be available even if the component is obsolete.
• Join industry groups: Joining industry groups and forums can provide access to a network of individuals who may have information on the availability of obsolete components.
• Utilize networks: Don't hesitate to reach out to colleagues, partners, or friends in the industry. They may have a source for the component you need or be able to direct you to someone who does.
It's important to note that when working with obsolete components, it's crucial to ensure that the parts are genuine and meet the necessary safety and performance requirements.

A Pragmatic Approach to
Lifecycle Analysis
Formal lifecycle analysis is not new; in fact, lifecycle analysis tools andtechniques have been around in various forms for decades. What is newis an urgent need to improve the tools and expand the use of lifecycle
analysis to a broader spectrum of products and services.
We’re going to use a pragmatic approach to lifecycle analysis that keeps
the focus on the main goals: understanding the overall impact and making
improvements. The truth is that you don’t always need to measure every-
thing; you don’t always need precise data; you don’t always need complete
information. You just need to know what to measure, when, and how—and
where to place your priorities.
To get started we’ll need a model of the product/service lifecycle that we
can use to organize our work. So, let’s take a closer look at the phases of a
typical lifecycle and the key considerations at each phase.
A Basic Lifecycle Model
Every product is different; every lifecycle has unique time frames and char-
acteristics. As a result, many different lifecycle models have been produced
over time. For this book, we use a basic three-stage model. We prefer this
model because it is straightforward and matches most people’s personal expe-
rience with the lifecycle stages of common products. The three stages of our
model are
• “Make,” which covers everything that happens before a product is
actually put into operation—including the materials and chemicals
45
that are used to create it, the processes involved in assembling and
manufacturing it, the packaging that encases it, and the supply chain
that distributes it
• “Use,” which includes the power the product consumes as it is
operated, the greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions it creates,
the water it uses, and the noise, light, and heat it generates during
operation
• “Renew,” which covers everything that happens after the product is
used, including the demanufacture or disassembly of the product,
reuse of key components, recycling, and take-back
At each stage of the lifecycle we focus on three primary aspects of the
environmental impact of a product or service:
• Energy and emissions, including the calculation of energy and
power, finding the cleanest source of energy for your product, using
energy efficiently, calculating GHG emissions and CO2 conversion,
and so on
• Chemicals, materials, and waste, including the legal and business
considerations of hazardous and toxic substances, packaging and doc-
umentation, waste disposal, recycling, take-back, and process-related
GHG emissions
• Water and other natural resources that are embodied in the product
or service, including social and business considerations of using
scarce or nonrenewable materials, calculating the water footprint, and
so forth
Additional Lifecycle Considerations
Our three-phase model is intentionally simplistic. So, before we discuss
each aspect of the lifecycle in more detail, we’d like to offer a few notes.
SXSW 2008 - "10 Ways to Green-ifyYour Digital Life"jenschlegel
The document summarizes a panel discussion on greening one's digital life. The panelists discussed current data on energy consumption and e-waste, demonstrated websites and tools to help users reduce their environmental impact, and generated a list of 16 tips. These included automating energy efficiency, sharing resources through networking, producing one's own power, and dealing responsibly with e-waste.
The document discusses developing a digital roadmap for an organization. It begins with an overview of digital platforms and their components. It then discusses the need for a roadmap to guide digital transformation and avoid a piecemeal approach. The remainder of the document outlines a proposed process for developing a digital roadmap, including conducting a gap analysis, workshops with staff, developing a vision and framework, and producing a 3-5 year roadmap with costs. The expected outcomes include a digital vision, roadmap, and initial 1 year implementation plan to guide the organization's digital journey.

This document summarizes a graduation project that involves designing a system to control a DC motor using DTMF signals. The system uses a DTMF decoder to receive DTMF tones from a keypad. An Arduino board interprets the decoded tones and controls an H-bridge circuit that regulates the speed and direction of a DC motor. The project aims to demonstrate DTMF-based remote motor control using components like the Arduino, MOSFETs, an H-bridge driver IC, and a permanent magnet DC motor. Simulation and real-world results are presented to analyze the system's performance.
Web Accessibility for Older Users: A Southern Argentinean Viewadry60
1. The document discusses a study conducted in Southern Patagonia, Argentina on the web accessibility experiences of older users.
2. The study involved having older adult participants complete common email tasks on Yahoo email, both before and after accessibility solutions were implemented.
3. The results showed that error rates were reduced for some tasks, like replying to emails, after scripts were used to remove advertisements and simplify buttons, but that more work is needed to develop fully accessible and easy-to-use solutions for older adults.
Electronic products not only add tons of waste to our landfills, but they also contain toxins that are dangerous to our health and the environment. When you understand how easy it is to recycle electronic devices and the benefits it brings to society, our health, and the environment, you can ensure that your old electronic devices do not end up in local landfills.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

broken devices and small appliances, to
save them from waste and change our re-
lationship with electronics.
We call them parties because they have a
fun, ad-hoc spirit, where participants bring
food and music, and people often meet
and mingle. Parties can occur in different
types of venues: pubs, churches, commu-
nity centres, art galleries and typically last
three hours.
The focus of the events is on skill-sharing.
Participants with broken electronic equip-
ment take an active part in the repair.

Let’s fix our
relationship
with electronics
Fixing our relationship with electronics
is going to require massive change on
a global scale. Electronic waste is one of
the fastest growing waste streams in many
countries. The pace of our consumption has
real social and environmental costs.
While recycling is important, we must inter-
vene before disposal – encouraging con-
sumers to buy for longevity and diverting
electronics from “end of life”.
We believe we cannot wait for greener or
more ethical gadgets, we just need to roll
up our sleeves and get started. That’s what
the Restart Party is all about.

Why?

Production
Every new product requires materials,
energy and human labour. Accelerated
demand puts strain on all three.
Mining has social and
environmental impacts.
Recycling helps but cannot
recoup 100% of materials.
More than half of the
energy used in the
lifecycle of electronics is
at production phase
Shorter lifecycles
and tight production
schedules contribute to
poor working conditions.
Raw Materials
Energy Usage
Social Pressure
Repair
Increasing the lifespan of electronics lessens
the strain on materials, energy and labour.
One easy way to do this is to maintain and
repair what we have.

We would like to help others host their
own event, or remix the model as a part of
our extended network. To associate your-
selves with us, as well as use the name
“Restart Party” and the visual elements we
provide, we just ask that you stick to these
simple guidelines.
Simple
guidelines
Join our network
1. Offer
free entry to the public, although a donation can be sug-
gested to cover cost of hiring a venue and supplies.
2.Promote
a collaborative learning process - get participants involved,
this is the really game-changing part.
3. Go ahead
and fix other stuff like bikes but we ask that Restart Parties
have at least 3-4 electronics repairers.
4.Communicate
your Restart Party to The Restart Project in advance and
share the results so that we can help spread the word.
5. Be insured!
The Restart Project is not liable for events we do not
organise. If you are uninsured, please work in partnership
with a group that is.
9. 16

1. Set up the space to maximize flow of people, and
interaction between volunteers and participants.
2. Hosts greet people, ask questions about a device to
determine what is wrong, and check in repairs on a public
waiting list.
3. Hosts match repairs with volunteers with the right skills,
and volunteers set up and begin repairing. Where possible,
cluster repairs, for example, all mobiles in one area.
4. While waiting, people snack, chat, or learn more from
printed materials. It helps to provide a waiting space.

Who is a
Restarter?
n. A person who likes helping people
learn how to fix broken electronics or
electricals - anything with a battery or that
plugs in - with a few exceptions, like mi-
crowaves. People who host Restart Parties
are also Restarters, a special kind. Restart-
ers have diverse skills.
Some help with basic electrical fixing in-
volving changing fuses and plugs. Oth-
ers deal with software issues on laptops
and mobiles. Yet others take on intricate
electronics repairs involving soldering.
What unites Restarters is the love of a re-
pair challenge and their collaborative ap-
proach, they love to share skills.
Synonyms: repairer, fixer
/ rɪˈstɑːtə /
Restarter
“The restarter
helped me fix
my toaster.”

Recruiting
People often get anxious about the
number of Restarters needed to host
an event. With three or four volunteers,
we encourage groups to go ahead and
schedule an event.
You can run a first event even if your initial
volunteers can only cover limited skills.
More Restarters will appear. If you host it,
they will come! Put in the extra effort to
make your volunteers happy and you will
have no problem recruiting more.
Publicising and
communicating

Derek Siver’s How to Start a Movement / Sample Press Release
22
Email. People who are active in their communities still
very much use email lists to connect. Try to get your event
announced on as many relevant email lists as possible:
local or green or tech lists.
Simple black and white posters are surprisingly effective.
Social media is a cheap and easy option. (But we find, to
start out, email lists and posters are the way to go.)
Mainstream or local media could be helpful, you might
consider sending around a press release.

Our project is about much more than
simply diverting waste. But it is one of the
most measurable results of a Restart Party.
We have developed a simple framework
to help you log the amount of waste
prevented at your Restart Party.
Measuring
impact
1. For each event, we create a poster to
record data on devices we look at: Device,
Problem, Fix (Y/N), Comments (This also
serves as a waiting list at the event).
2.After the event, please fill in our online
form sharing basic data about the event
(Location, Data, etc). We then send you a
special spreadsheet (rstrt.org/afterparty).
3. When you fill in our spreadsheet with
data on devices you looked at, it will
generate a report for you, demonstrating
your impact. We will add this data to our
global data.
Using this simple data, together we can
measure our aggregate impact globally,
as Restart Parties grow.

resources saved through your
activities including water, carbon
and energy.

Every public event carries with it some
risk. Please do not host a Restart Party with-
out your own public liability insurance.
If you have no insurance, we encourage
you join forces with an existing community
group, verifying that you can be covered
by their insurance. We can reduce risk by
thinking about safety well in advance.
Safety and
managing risk
Additional links:
Sample safety guidelines / Sample risk assessment / Disclaimer
It is good practice to designate one Restarter as your
Safety Volunteer, somebody with more experience
particularly with electricals. This volunteer plays a role
before and during Restart Parties.
We put disclaimers on all of our online announcements
and all of the tables at an event. When a new volunteer
comes, ask them to sit near your designated Safety Vol-
unteer. We generated some safety guidelines which we
ask our Restarters to sign up to.
You can use this as a starting point to generate your own.
Volunteers and hosts should be mindful and aware dur-
ing an event. Volunteers should never do anything that
makes them feel uncomfortable.
We safety test equipment before it leaves a Restart Party.
We encourage groups to look into acquiring safety test-
ing equipment when they have the resources. Standards
are different in each country.

Sample Restarter Safety Guidelines
We’re thrilled to have you share your skills at our events.
We ask you to remember that Restart Parties are learning
events, so please work with the owners of broken devices
helping them understand what you are doing and follow
the repair process. Involve them in the repair.
Always consider safety. There is an experienced, desig-
nated safety volunteer at every event on hand to answer
any questions about safety.

Visual identity
We call ourselves The Restart Project,
and our wish is to see the Restart Party
proliferate. Already existing organisations
will take on Restart Parties as activities in
their communities and recruit volunteers
for these events called Restarters.
We are NOT promoting
the establishment of new
Restart Project chapters,
franchises or local NGOs.
Good example of party poster
(credit to Alexandra Charlemagne of Seed Grow Change)
DO NOT imply
your event is run by
the Restart Project
DO NOT use our
logo on its own ran-
domly, or add to it
DO NOT squash
the logo or change
its colour
Do’s & Dont’s
DO call your event a:
DO indicate which local organisations are hosting
and sponsoring (in your posters and banners)
DO use Patua One, a free font (download)
and use this logo on your banner or poster

You will find that some people self-identify
as Restarters, and that you need a pool
of Restarters to power a Restart Party, or
to power a local repair cafe. We provide
some visual elements to recruit and motivate
Restarters online and in real life.
Local identity
Use these as avatars on social media
Use these to recruit people,

your location.
