Reduce Global Warming With Your Cell Phone
Las Vegas, NV - The Wireless Source issued a challenge recently for individuals and organizations to attain a "carbon neutral" status by the end of 2008. Simultaneously they introduced a program supported by Carbonfund.org to lead the fight against global warming climate change, making it easy and affordable for any individual, business or organization to eliminate their climate impact by recycling used mobile phones.
Carbon gasses generated through the use and burning of fossil fuels cause green house gasses that contributes to global warming. These gasses erode the ozone layer, creating the greenhouse effect and warm Earth's lower atmosphere and surface.
What does cell phone recycling have to do with global warming? The math is simple: each individual generates approximately 12 metric tons of carbon (CO2) each year. For approximately five (5) cellular phones that are recycled through this program, we will offset one (1) carbon ton. This means for every sixty (60) cellular phones recycled, the partners will offset the equivalent of a single average American's carbon output for an entire year.
According to Bob Sullivan, CEO of The Wireless Source, "We are issuing this challenge to create an awareness on how easy it is to reduce your carbon footprint and when not possible, what steps can be taken to offset the carbon generated through our day to day activity. It is easier and less complicated than most people think."
Individuals, businesses, or almost any charity can join The Wireless Source's cell phone collection programs and receive carbon credits through a partnership with Carbonfund.org for their efforts by going to http://www.thewirelesssource.com.
