Saving Gaia the mobile phone way.


"Everything to lose, don't thrash it!"
A worthy quote.

"In memory of your old phones. 
Old phones can be recycled into different things like trumpets, 
rollercoasters or even this park bench you're sitting on.
Give the world a helping hand and recycle your old phone."


Saw this at a Nokia outlet.






Nokia Connects...

And they CARE… for the people.

Saving GAIA
It says..
'Give us a hand'
'Help us to create a better tomorrow'
'A billion little ways to better'
