What Alex has done
Alex Lin has done many things to many places in the world. He got a bill passed in Rhode Island. He got computer centers built in many third-world countries in poorer continents such as Africa. (No offense, Africans! This is not an insult!)
Alex got a bill passed in Rhode Island- his home state- that illegalzed the improper dumping of e-waste. He first sent it to the legislature of the state. The first time it was denied. So Alex redrafted it and sent it back, and finally it was accepted. In July, 2006, the bill was officialy passed and became a state law. Alex also got computer centers built in third-world*countries such as Cameroon and Sri Lanka. They allow children and even adults to be educated in computer literacy and how to use a computer. These things have benifited many people, and will benefit many people more many long years to come. *Third-world: noun, (sometimes lowercase) 1.Te underdeveloped nations of the world, especially those with widespread poverty. 2.the group of developing nations, especially of Asia and Africa, that do not align themselves with the policies of either the U.S. or the former Soviet Union. 3.the minority groups within a nation or predominant culture. |
