Think again! Here\u2019s an infographic that tells you just how polluting that Blackberry or iPhone in your pocket could be. Here\u2019s a reality check on how mobile phones can actually pollute.<\/p>\n<p>61% of the world\u2019s population uses a cell phone. That\u2019s around 4.1 billion mobile phones. These phones use around 4,221 mega joules of energy, equivalent to 32 gallons of gas emitting 112 kilograms of CO2. If every charger was left plugged in the whole day, it would waste enough energy to power up 28,000 homes. And to top it all, 140,000,000 cell phones will land up in landfills this year. That\u2019s about 4 phones per second. Recycling all these phones would save enough power to light up 272,000 homes. About time we switch to good old pigeons for communicating. <\/p>\n<p>Via &#8211; [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newlaunches.com\/archives\/cell_phones_and_its_impact_on_the_environment.php\">Newlaunches<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just because your cell phone doesn\u2019t and give out CO2, it doesn\u2019t mean that your phone doesn\u2019t indirectly cause a whole lot of pollution.
