Mobile Phone Mountain
Last Sunday The Observer reported that, according to an exhibition at The Science Museum, an incredible 1,700 mobile phones are discarded in Britain every hour.
Each phone is packed full of toxins like mercury and nickel, and although a single phone might contain very small amounts, when you consider the number that are being dumped it quickly adds up to a very disturbing ecological impact.
As Fiona-Grace Peppler of The Science Museum says, "We need to stop people throwing their phones into rubbish bins."
She's right, and what's more here at YouthNet we've got the solution - you can recycle them and help us in the process! What could be better than helping to save the environment and supporting your favourite charity?
