\u201cBiological hazard: What happens when e-waste ends up in nature?\u201d<\/strong> \u201cAs a biology expert, Delali\u0107 warns that electronic devices are not ordinary waste. In nature, they become a \u2018ticking time bomb\u2019 for our respiratory system.\u201d \u201cWhat many people do not know is that this waste releases many harmful substances that are dangerous once they enter nature. They reduce the amount of oxygen, and inhaling these substances can lead to serious respiratory problems. This is where allergies, bronchitis, and asthma occur. A single small battery that we throw away can cause permanent damage to our bodies,<\/em>\u201d the teacher warns. \u201cStudents as agents of change\u201d<\/strong> \u201cA special emphasis in the project is placed on younger generations, who, according to the teacher, often know more about environmental protection than adults.\u201d \u201cWe should have the greatest influence on younger populations, which is why students are the carriers of these projects. They are the ones who spread good habits until they become natural and part of everyday life. We constantly talk about this in class, and they have no doubts\u2014they know exactly what e-waste is and directly ask questions,<\/em>\u201d she said. \u201cInstructions for fellow citizens: Do not dispose of devices on your own!\u201d<\/strong> \u201cThe teacher took the opportunity to issue an important appeal to all residents of Konjic who are planning a spring cleaning of their homes:\u201d \u201cSave e-waste: Do not throw old appliances into attics, basements, or, worst of all, into nature.<\/em>\u201d \u201cOrganized collection: In cooperation with the public utility company \u2018Standard\u2019, collection will be organized to a specific location at a designated time.<\/em>\u201d \u201cSmall and large waste: Small e-waste can be brought to the school, while large waste (such as household appliances) will be collected by a \u2018Standard\u2019 truck and taken directly to the company ZEOS for recycling.<\/em>\u201d \u201cVoice of young environmentalists\u201d<\/strong> \u201cStudents of Prva osnovna \u0161kola Konjic, members of the environmental section under the mentorship of teacher Edna Delali\u0107, have become true ambassadors of environmental protection. Aj\u0161a Halilovi\u0107 emphasizes that the key to success lies in informing the population, which is why the students also created a special survey.\u201d \u201cWe want to find out how familiar our fellow citizens actually are with the concept of e-waste and its harmful effects. I learned that improper disposal directly damages our respiratory system and organs. It is important that this topic is promoted everywhere\u2014from kindergartens to schools\u2014so that the importance of nature conservation is instilled in children from an early age. After the project, we will repeat the survey to see how successful we have been in encouraging citizens,<\/em>\u201d says Aj\u0161a. \u201cFor Alma No\u017ei\u0107, this project is a way to preserve the beauty of Konjic for generations to come:\u201d \u201cIt is important that e-waste is disposed of properly in order to protect our future. We want to remind people of the beauty that surrounds us and that we should not destroy it, but rather restore it. We invite all parents and citizens to bring small e-waste to our school, and soon we will also announce the schedules for collecting large waste in cooperation with \u2018Standard\u2019,<\/em>\u201d she said. \u201cAnisa Kadi\u0107 and Elhana \u0160ljivo emphasize the importance of activism and the visibility of the campaign itself in the city.\u201d \u201cOur wish is for students to be the main carriers of this initiative. With the help of our teachers, we want to encourage the entire community to get involved and collect as much e-waste as possible,<\/em>\u201d says Anisa Kadi\u0107. \u201cElhana \u0160ljivo adds: We have also prepared special signs and flyers with information about what e-waste actually is. They will be placed throughout the city so that all passers-by can learn more and join our campaign.<\/em>\u201d \u201cWith the opening of an info desk yesterday in the school lobby, Prva osnovna \u0161kola Konjic once again demonstrated the power of collective action. While small waste is already being collected, a special pickup for larger items is being prepared in cooperation with the public utility company \u2018Standard\u2019\u2014the exact time and location of the collection, as stated by members of the environmental section, will be announced next week.\u201d
