Sienna Miller is Global Cool‘s rock star. She’s asked us to turn down our thermostat and wear cool t-shirts. This time she’s back for more – our cell phones.
Global Cool, Vodafone UK and Sienna Miller have teamed up to recycle 500,000 mobile phones. Global Cool tells us, “Over 50 million handsets are currently sit
ting idle in UK households – and less than 5% of the 15 million that get thrown away each year are recycled. What’s more, the estimated worth of the nation’s old handsets is £1.1 billion – money which could be spent on planet saving projects like Solar Aid, which uses the power of the sun to help people help themselves in hot countries around the world.”
In the UK, recycle your old mobile phones, batteries, and accessories in any Vodafone store or send them free to FREEPOST, Foneback Vodafone Recycling.
