The Hidden Costs of Our Devices

Your phone is literally packed with gold, silver, and even radioactive materials.

To get these, mining operations tear up landscapes, contaminate water, and use toxic substances

like arsenic. Manufacturing the components burns massive amounts of fossil fuels.

When you toss your old device, it becomes e-waste. These gadgets can leak dangerous chemicals

into our soil and drinking water, or release toxins into the air if burned.

Even our constant scrolling adds to a huge carbon footprint from power-hungry data centers.

We can make a difference by reusing old tech and pushing for better recycling and more energy-efficient

devices.
