Conflict Minerals 101

So what exactly is the WSU Conflict-Free Initiative?  This 4-minute video, created by the Enough Project, explains the basics of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and how it relates to your cell phones, laptops, video game consoles, and other electronic devices.



We would like to help ensure that Weber State University’s electronics are received only from legitimate sources- not the violent militant groups perpetuating this conflict.  

Watch the video, and if you would like to learn more, please consult this resource list.  After you’ve done that, please consider reading and signing our online petition.
