Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.
I started to develop an idea surrounding "E-waste". As a New Yorker I come across abandoned electronics that eventually will end up disposed in an inappropriate place that may cause environmental harm. I tried to establish a measure in which these electronics can be processed and re-utilized in the construction of other useful gadgets. I have been talking to people that know the business, and how we can take this to a serious level of commitment. Unfortunately many aspects must be discussed in order to get this idea up and running.
