About 8 million Americans use CPAP machines every night for sleep apnea. Dealing with the electronics, plastic tubing, and silicone masks from these devices has created a major waste problem. In most places, CPAP machines are considered electronic waste, so throwing them in the trash is usually illegal. The compressor inside has circuit boards with lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can pollute soil and water if not handled properly.

Put simply, "citizenship by donation" refers to a non-refundable contribution to a government fund-one of several routes within the broader citizenship by investment (CBI) framework, alongside real estate and public-benefit projects. Unlike traditional programs that require purchasing property or government bonds, donation-based options grant citizenship in exchange for a single contribution to a national development fund.
