Cell Phone Environmental Impact
May 11th, 2007
Is it environmentally sensible to throw a cell phone into an active volcano?
In a future trip to Indonesia, I am considering throwing my cell phone into an active volcano as a symbolic and cathartic gesture. However, I’m concerned about the environmental impact of this. Is it environmentally safe to do this?
I should think it would be considered a somewhat ‘Green’ act, after all, you’d only be returning a manufactured product to its natural raw mineral state ! You might enhance your gesture if it was in your pocket at same time, given the destruction/track-record we humans have on the environment
No offense intended, it’s just a fact.
