Benefits
Sadly there is an environmental impact in owning a mobile phone. They can contain up to a 1000 components and use up huge amounts of resources such as; gold, copper, iridium, lithium, silver, lead, zinc, palladium and tin to name but a few.
If you were to talk on a normal mobile for an hour a day for one year; you can produce up to a tonne of CO2, which is about the equivalent of a trip by jet from London to New York. And if you add the fact there are 4.1 billion handsets in use on the planet then the amount of CO2 expended becomes hugely significant.
