Donating - How About A Cell Phone?

140 million cell phones have become obsolete while 2.5 million phones have no worth and are rather damaging the environment through perilous substances and fewer than 10% of the useless phones are being donated. Does that inculcate a sense of guilt within you? Yes, you may always desire to get the most 'hip' and technologically 'in' phone every now and then, but do you realize what cost you are incurring apart from the cash cost you pay?

Donate, donate, and donate! Yes, you don’t need to just throw away that useless cell phone anymore. Although recycled phones may be nothing paralleled to the Smartphones we have nowadays, but they can still be used in emergency cases. Senior centers disabled citizens with limited physical and financial powers can always rescue their lives by using recycled phones where they can dial the emergency numbers and obtain help immediately.
