Recent research has found that by recycling old mobile phones people can cut their own carbon footprints.
When any electronic items are used such as mobile phones, computers, cameras or mp3 players’ carbon is produced. Also as many mobile phones are manufactured in the Far East transportation is also added. By recycling old electronic items like mobile phones we can all reduce our environmental impact.
Another ways to cut our own carbon footprints could be by buying second hand goods rather than brand new items, reducing use of car and either walking, car sharing or using public transport, switching lights and taps off.
A spokesman from Waste Watch recently said that mobile recycling is becoming increasing popular as more people in the UK are becoming more aware of climate change.
