Now a days our society becomes increasingly dependent on cell phones and other power hungry devices, now more than ever it is of supreme importance to understand the environmental effect we all have on the environment and how our personal devices may contribute. Here are some easy, affordable steps that can be taken to help turn your phone or device from an energy raiding bandit into an ally of conservation.

  • Buy an Eco-Friendly Cell Phone
    It is very trendy to be green these days and the mobile phone industry is no different. There are many effective options when it comes to earth friendly phones. Greener methods include not only using recycled plastics and metals, but also using non-solvent based paints that are ultimately much more environmentally friendly for waste that will end up deteriorating in landfills. Manufacturers are also integrating solar powered batteries into their designs, and other makers and carriers even donate a portion of their profits to conservation efforts. There are many options for both non-smart phones and smart phones alike.
  • Use A Solar Powered Charger
    So if you love your phone and just can't bring yourself to part with it for a greener option, you can still cut down on energy consumption. Solar powered chargers are affordable option that is readily available on common shopping sites. Not only do these chargers help the earth, they also free you from the chains of the wall outlet. With these cheap chargers in hand, no longer will you have to scurry in between flights to the nearest charging beacon, all you need is less than direct sunlight.
  • Recycle Your Old Cell
    Recycling your old phone is a very effective way in which you can help reverse the wasteful and harmful trend of the worldwide consumption of Earth's natural resources. There are many websites that offer to buy old phones. Despite receiving a fraction of the real value, this can be a smart choice because not only will you get some money, it is also extremely easy. If you are concerned with getting the most money out of your old phone, you must sell it yourself on an auction site, but of course this requires much more work. If your primary goal is to help the earth and at the same time exert the least amount of effort, the choice is to donate. There are many phone recycling programs that offer free postage, you simply drop your old phone into an envelope, and the organization will erase all data and recycle your phone.

Although there are many ways in which you can reduce the effect of high tech devices such as mobile phones, these three steps will have the largest impact on environmental conservation.
