on aggregated values.
Distinction of having clause from where clause:
The WHERE clause is applied to individual rows in the original dataset before
any grouping is performed. It filters rows based on specific column
conditions.
While HAVING clause is applied to grouped results after the GROUP BY
operation. It filters groups based on aggregated values, such as SUM, COUNT,
AVG, etc.

1. Reduce: Individuals can minimise e-waste by making mindful purchasing
decisions, such as buying longer-lasting electronic devices and only acquiring
what is genuinely needed. For example, opting for modular smartphones
with replaceable components can extend the lifespan of the device.
2. Reuse: Encouraging the reuse of electronic devices involves selling,
donating, or trading-in old gadgets. For instance, individuals can refurbish
and sell their old laptops to extend their use.
3. Recycle: To recycle e-waste responsibly, individuals can participate in e-
waste recycling programs or drop-off centers. For instance, recycling old cell
phones at designated collection points prevents them from ending up in
landfills.
