Missoula E-Waste Startup Crowdfunding Campaign

It’s been a while since I’ve actually seen some of you but I thought you all might want to know about a new e-waste recycling Startup that just came onto the scene in Missoula Montana.

It’s called Oreo’s Refining and the owner, Shelly Mitchell, has an inspiring story you may want to hear. I am reaching out to you to please visit her crowdfunding page at "http://www.gf.me/u/ctffvc" and give it a like and a share on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

We’ve drafted an email below for you to share with your email friends. Feel free to even give a glance over and hear her story. She is a story of true inspiration and has loads of character. On top of that, she is a very dear friend.

Thanks for all of your support and I hope to be less of a stranger in the future.

Sustainably,

Nate Hansen

Shelly Mitchell, owner and founder of Montana’s ethical e-waste facility Oreo’s Refining, needs your help. Today Shelly launches a GoFundMe campaign in support of her business: to process e-waste locally and benefit nearby communities with a portion of the proceeds donated to nieghborhood food banks.

America exports 70% of its electronic waste illegally – ending up in foreign countries to wreak havoc on their environment and communities. Little to no regulations govern the handling of e-waste in third-world countries; limited education in the processing of the hazardous materials with no means to manage the leftover toxins. The pollution causes cancers, neurological disorders, open lesions and a contaminated food and water source.

Oreo’s Refining is a bootstrap start-up targeting 100% fossil-fuel-free recycling within ten years.

We believe in breaking down all electronics to bare bones locally, safely, and ethically.
