Eco Phones to Save Mother Earth

The call to save Mother earth and preserve the ecological balance has been rising in huge proportions, especially now that we are facing extreme global warming and the possibility of climate change.
The good thing is that a lot has answered, ranging from the private individual to the mega corporations. Among these mega corporations doing their share of saving the environment are the telecommunications and mobile phone companies.
More than just plant trees by the roadways or teaching people on how to manage and segregate their wastes, these corporations attempt to help in ecological preservation through things they excel at - mobile phones.
The mobile phone is already an integrated part of the modern individual, a device that has evolved from a mere phone into an essential part of human communications. Simply put, the modern person most likely possesses a mobile phone for obvious reasons.
But that being said, most mobile phones are made of materials that contain chemicals that are harmful to the land such as cadmium, nickel, and lithion. And every day, tons of mobile phones and cellular batteries have been clogging the landfill all over the world, adding to mass of human junk we make every single passing day.
Granted, mobile phone companies are not tree huggers. But with the current state our environment is facing, it is nice to know that these communications giants are fusing modern communications technology and environmental awareness with their lines of eco friendly cellular phones.
Samsung, the South Korea-based mobile phone manufacturer, has been consistent in launching pro-environment mobile phones. The still-in-the-works Samsung Blue Earth is slated to be made of recycled water bottles and is powered by the sun. While this phone is still in the drawing board, the Samsung Blue Earth is nearing its completion and will be available later in 2009.
Another environment friendly Samsung mobile that is already out in the market is the Samsung E1107. Powered by a solar panel in the back, the Samsung E1107 eliminates the need for conventional cell phone batteries.
Sony Ericsson, another mobile phone titan, also chips in its share of eco-friendly mobile phones - the Sony Ericsson Green Heart. Though there is still no news when the phone will be made available to the public, the news is that the Green Heart's chassis is made of biodegradable materials and the keypad is molded from recycled plastic.
Nokia also joins the pro-environment mobile phones race with the two concept phones currently in the designs phase. One is powered by solar energy while the other phone will utilize radio waves frequency. It is slated that such energy are more efficient than solar power, but current prototypes are still to deliver such claim.
Another good thing is that electronics companies all over the world are also bent on easing the world from further environmental damage with solar chargers and other alterative and unconventional power sources for mobile phones, such as chargers with hand crank-mechanism.
If the trend should pick up and generate enough following, then there is a big chance we will be using environment friendly phones in the near future.
