I've got an idea - why don't we all try & make do with the phones we have? Is it really necessary to continually upgrade as soon as the next shiny bright thing is dangled in front of us?
Recently after a natural disaster there was a call for unused mobiles and more also chargers as many people left their homes with their phone, forgot the charger & lost their possessions in the fires.
It seems that the average home had in excess of 3 old mobile phones which worked sitting around unused, & twices or more as many old unused chargers.
What does that say about how committed we really are to the "green" ethos many of us are supposedly trying to adopt? If we can't stop gadget mania on a personal level then what's the point of making token gestures?
