Just an idea...

gam3t3ch

So I know sometimes we get boards and don't use them. Projects change over time and parts are abundant.

 

I would love e14 or Newark USA and Canada at least to offer a recycle programs.

 

We send in our unused or working parts we no longer need and others can apply. Schools, low income. And even us to receive boards and parts we might not be able to buy or a trading program linked to our profiles of boards and items to trade with other members. 

 

I understand that its all about making money in the end.  But to me its also about growing the community and the members being able to partake in events and project14.

So would be a interesting thing even if it was geared to project14 only as far as donations go and then packages being sent out to member understandably shipping would have to be covered by those sending and receiving.

 

Not sure the fine details but its something I think should be considered in the future. In my opinion of course.

 

Just a thought that crossed my mind.

    So I'm not sure what the export paperwork is protecting.

    Henry Ford is reported to have said that "It is impossible to make anything idiot proof because idiots are too ingenious."

     

    He was also reported to go through the shop and find the laziest worker and put him on a new machine.

    When he found the person lazing about, he would them have that person show everyone else how best to use the machine.  His reasoning is that the lazy guy would find the simplest way to use a complex machine in the shortest time.

  • I have LOTS of kits, at last count (I have a spreadsheet to keep track of everything) it's over 100, I think. Most I don't use or will use, I'd be happy to share, lend give away some of them if I knew someone was interested in them.
