Mobile Firms, Environmental Bodies Join to Make Mobility Green

Mobile Firms, Environmental Bodies Join to Make Mobility Green

Nokia, Motorola, Panasonic Mobile Communications, France Telecom/Orange, Vodafone, TeliaSonera AB, Intel, Epson and other technology companies have joined with the Finnish environment authority, UK's DEFRA, the World Wildlife Fund and the European Commission to propose new initiatives for mobile technology that aid the environment.

The initiatives break down into the following categories:

*energy consumption
*eliminating the use of specific materials of concern
*improving the amount of phones collected through take-back schemes and recycled
*giving consumers more environmental information about products

On energy consumption alone, the figures are worth paying attention to:

Nokia estimates that if this measure led to only 10% of the world's mobile phone users turning off the electricity supply to the chargers after use this would save enough energy in one year to power 60,000 European homes annually.

    They all can make a green charger. It can stay on for approx 8 hours and then automatic shuts off. They put a man on the moon so this is easy.
