How
many phone chargers have you had in
your lifetime? Some CHOICE staff have
admitted having up to 9 - including
staff members who claim not to be concerned
about keeping up with the latest trends
in mobile phones.
This
adds up to an enormous amount of e-waste
- and although the UN International
Telecommunications Union approved a
voluntary standard for phone chargers,
Apple, Blackberry and HTC have not signed
on. We need your help to put pressure
on these companies to sign the standard
and help lighten the e-waste load.
