The changing trend has taught us wits of fashion, the sophisticated way to eat, the way to dress and what not but human has failed to realize that the impact of his activities is very soon going to take a toll on all of us in the near future. We hear a lot about Global warming and its effects, the causes of Global warming are very clear, it's because of the pollution and the other activities which are executed by human beings in their day to day life.
We have to restrict all these activities of ours' to make sure that we make Earth a better place to live. We must make sure that we contribute fully in this regard. In USA every house has 3 to 4 mobiles discarded just like that, nobody uses these phones, the population of these unused phones is likely to touch billions in the near future.
Lets now shift our attention towards the advantages of buying a pre-used cell phone, lets look at it first from a personal point of view, first of all a pre-used cell would surely cost less than a new cell phone, this is the biggest advantage a person has when he opts to buy a pre-owned cell phone. Let me give a classic example for this, A Blackberry 8700 can go as high as $299 new. But a used Blackberry 8700 can be obtained for only $129 and works just as well.
The most Important point why one should buy a pre-owned mobile is the environmental point of view, mobiles are made up of toxic chemicals like Lead and Mercury, over the time these chemicals start leaking out into the water and in the ground causing pollution which is very dangerous. Many discarded phones are far from being useless and according to me all these phones should not be thrown away but we must make the most of these discarded phones and save our environment from getting polluted.
