It turns out that rampant consumerism and the need to change our phones every 3 years on average is contributing to global warming.
When this extends to mobile 5 seater "washing machines" we will probably all have to go out and buy "stillsuits" laugh

E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet. 1.5 billion phones are sold every year and only 20% of them are reused or recycled. The BSE aims to make us more aware of the terrible impact that changing mobile phones every three years has on the planet (not to mention the economic impact on our pocket).

For example, simply extending the useful life of each and every smartphone in the European Union by one year would save 2.1 million tons of carbon dioxide per year until 2030, “the equivalent to taking more than a million cars off the roads”.

If we extended the useful life of the devices we use most throughout the day even further, the benefits would be even more incredible. Delaying the date of the change by another three years would mean a saving of 4.3 tons of CO2. Extending the mobile change for another five years would mean 5.5 million tons of less carbon dioxide.
