Mobile Phone Afterlife!
With the recession hitting every aspect of our society, there are very few organizations that are showing signs of weathering the storm, without external financial help. So if your organization is in need of some quick and relatively easy funds to keep it going, Phoneraiser gives you the most “bang for your buck” fundraising campaigns, (especially since it does not cost you a penny!)!
If you are planning to run a fundraising campaign with the help of Phoneraiser you should understand the motivation behind Phoneraiser. This will help you convince your donors the cause they are donating to, is one that benefits people on many levels. Once your benefactors appreciate the cause they will be more forthcoming.
A recent survey shows that an enormous amount of cell phones are being disposed of as garbage each year. With the average life expectancy of a mobile phone being around one and a half to two years, a huge amount of mobile phones get dumped daily and most of us fail to think about where they are going! (And if they are not being dumped, they are hanging out in various drawers, nooks and crannies around the house.)
It has been estimated that the toxic content of mobile phones is dangerous enough to consider them as hazardous waste. Leaving them in open garbage cans is not the proper way to dispose them. There are quite a few organizations that are environmentally responsible and they take on the job of recycling the used mobile phones.
The limited resources of our earth should not be wasted incessantly without regard for future generations. Recycling used mobile phones, to use them longer is a great way to sustain and protect our natural environmental resources.
Apart from the obvious benefits of recycling mobile phones, there are certain amounts of gold used in the ICs of mobile phones and PDAs. This can be extracted and reused. This is perhaps the most important fact about recycling mobile phones. Recycling all the mobile phones carefully could accumulate a large amount of gold content which would otherwise be wasted!
The alarming fact is that very few people are aware of this. This is certainly important information that should be passed on to everyone. The more people that are aware of the environmental impact of tossing cell phones, the more people want to donate their used mobile phones for this worthy cause, especially once they are made aware of the benefits.
Phoneraiser will pay you money for every used mobile phone you donate. This is a nice way to kick start your fund raising campaign. Once you explain the importance of recycling used mobile phones and PDAs, a lot of people are going to want to contribute. A change of heart is imminent if you take pains to explain how harmful the toxic wastes can be for our health, if they are left to decompose…. SLOWLY, while leaking precious metals and untold other toxins!
