Up to 75 million cell phones may be discarded in the next 12 months.
CellFund.com provides a way for conscientious cell phone users and
those that raise funds, to avert the environmental threat.
January 1, 2004 Tulsa, OK -- Conscientious cell phone users may
be able to avert a threat to our environment caused by discarded cell
phones. A new law allows cell phone users to retain their old phone
number while switching wireless carriers. Experts estimate up to 50%
of the 150 million cell phone users will switch carriers in the next
12 months. The majority of people who switch however, will not be
allowed to use their old phones due to different technologies employed
by the service carriers.
This phenomenon is prompting great concern that millions of cell
phones, no longer useful to their owners, will simply be disposed.
The real danger lies in the fact that cell phones contain chemicals
that have been proven to cause cancer and other reproductive, neurological,
and developmental disorders. Many Americans are concerned about these
toxins ending up in their landfills.
There is an answer to this problem that provides a win-win solution
for both cell phone users and groups trying to raise funds. A company
called CellFund is buying discarded cell phones from groups who collect
them as a fundraising tool. After refurbishing them, they are sold
to developing countries where there is a great demand for their product.
