When you sign up to Green Mobile we'll donate ?25 to the Woodland Trust or Friends of the Earth along with 6% of your monthly bill. As well as amazing rates, we'll give you ?25 cash back too. All we ask in return is that you keep your existing mobile handset for 1 more year and help reduce its environmental impact. Don?t upgrade this year, plant six trees instead. You can also change your landlines over to us and we?ll donate 6% of this monthly bill as well. Facts Mobile phones are designed to last at least 5 years, so it appears environmentally irresponsible that mobile operators are persuading customers to upgrade on a yearly basis. Over 100,000,000 mobile phones are thrown away each year in Europe alone ? of which 80% are not recycled ? the environmental impact of this waste is enormous. We can?t think of any other electronic device that you?d upgrade this regularly. Quotes A spokesman for Friends of the Earth said: "We all have the power to make a difference - to tackle climate change, protect wildlife and benefit the environment. Avoid adding to landfill and recycle your old mobile phone." Sue Holden, chief executive of the Woodland Trust, said: ?This is a fantastic way to fund our work of planting trees and protecting woodlands, and keeping your phone out of landfill. Why not put a tree in the ground, and not your mobile?? Adrian Potter, 40, managing director of Green Mobile, said: ?You hear a lot about how we need to protect the environment and save the planet. Green Mobile will enable people to do something positive and save money at the same time. Our slogan is ?Save money and save the planet?.? Your donation will help the Woodland Trust to: Friends of the Earth to: 1) Plant new forests across Britain 1) Raise awareness of the environment 2) Preserve ancient woodlands and habitats 2) Continue their climate campaign 3) Fund educational programmes 3) Fund multiple educational resources If you have any queries, then please contact me on the numbers provided.
