Re: Motorola Recycled Phones Should've Remained Plastic Bottles

I think its good that companies are starting to resuse a lot of products such as these plastic water bottles to make cell phone plastics. But according to this article in which I also agree to it seems like Motorola is just trying to look good. They still have a huge carbon footprint, even if they so something like this. Also they don't say anything about the phone itsself besides the fact of the plastics.

Now if they started a return progarm for the old phones, in which the person would get some money that whould be different. They then could resuse the old phones and melt down the plastics, glass and the presious metals such as gold. To use in a new GREEN phone. this would make more sense to me if you are trying to promote as green phone!

They're ugly too.
Who cares about "green?" Make better phones.

Re: Motorola Recycled Phones Should've Remained Plastic Bottles
Daniel,
You first sentence cracked me up. My crazy Italian family from South Philly used that expression all the time (and we still do!). The remainder of your article was informative. I read PC every day, but sometimes its too techy. You brought some old school back from the trenches. I agree fully with another article on Jan, 7, 09 issue... most of this GREEN is greatly exaggerated. I'm in the HVAC industry, at the forefront of what really is and is not green. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE:
the maintenance on almost everything green is very extensive & expensive, far exceeding energy savings & carbon reduction.... just like friggin' Ethanol Gasoline !
