Easy to be green – give your phone a second life, be energy efficient with your mobile and use your mobile to avoid unnecessary travel
We’re sticking with the green theme again this week with the last in the series of videos showing how easy it is to be green from the Nokia environmental team. The first video looks at how you can give your phone a second life by not tossing it with the rest of the old phones in your cellular graveyard. The second video shows how you can be more energy efficient with your phone saving you money and mother earth. The third and final video is all about green travel and how making small decisions can have an effect on the environment around you. Feeling green? Check out the videos below for more.
