Unused cell phones

It is no secret that we live in a mass consumption world where one day we have the latest in technological gadgetry and the next it is yesterday's news.  We do not realize the sins of our consumption until someone like Chris Jordan shows us. The picture below illustrate the vast wasteland of our uninhibited profligacy and total disregard for the environment. Sixty percent of the world does not use telephones. If only we could give these discarded phones to them instead of creating a sea of vanity. Check out Chris Jordan's work at

If you have a phone you would like to dispose of I recommend the following websites:

Phone2Food   

Shelter Alliance

Both organizations either recycle discarded phones or donate them to abused women's shelters, etc.
