Day 9: REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE mobile phones
Oh my, oh my, oh my, its christmas time. a time filled with love, friends, family, baby jesus… and giving/recieving. I can imagine a lot of people use this time to bless their loved ones with the gift of a new phone, I mean who doesn’t love a new phone.
HOWEVER what we do with the old phone is very important.
Up until recently I had a draw filled with old phones, its both astonishing and sad how fast we move through those things. Anyway I thought the least I could do was to recycle my old mobile phones. You see many parts in a phone (even them oldies) can be reused and reduces the need for mining and keeps them off the landfill, which in turn helps our environment.
A lot of tech shops allow you to bring in old phones for recycling, but if your unsure you can send them to 'mobile muster’
