Gorillas Suffer Because of Cell Phones
Cellphones are in hot demand and as the demand increases, so does the impact on gorillas habitat in the Congo.How are gorillas and cell phones linked?
*
Cell phones contain a rare ore called Coltan used as a semiconductor. This metal if found in Central Africa. Increased mining operations means habitat loss and increased hunting pressure on gorillas an other wildlife.
*
Wildlife Reserves suffer most from mining. Two World Heritage sites, Kahuzi-Biega National Park and Okapi Wildlife Reserve, have suffered the most damage from mining.
*
Coltan mining has helped fund the on-going war in the region.
*
Cell phone popularity over the past five years induced a flood of more than 10,000 illegal miners into the "protected" parks. Needing food, they have hunted gorillas an elephants to near extinction in these areas.
What can you Do To Help?
*
Recycle Your Old Cell Phone! The US is home to more then 150 million cell phone users (and growing fast). More then 100 million cell phones are thrown away, or stuffed in a drawer, each year. If fewer new phones need to be produced, there will be less impact on gorilla's habitat.
*

Used and refurbished cellphones provide the economically disadvantaged with basic communications...sometimes wireless is their only means of communications.

In Why Do We Recycle?: Markets, Values, and Public Policy
Frank Ackerman examines the arguments for and against recycling, focusing on the debate surrounding the use of economic mechanisms to determine the value of recycling. Based on previously unpublished research conducted by the Tellus Institute, , a nonprofit environmental research group in Boston, Massachusetts, Ackerman presents an alternative view of the theory of market incentives, challenging the notion that setting appropriate prices and allowing unfettered competition will result in the most efficient level of recycling. Among the topics he considers are:
* externality issues-unit pricing for waste disposal, effluent taxes, virgin materials subsidies, advance disposal fees
* the landfill crisis and disposal facility siting
* container deposit ("bottle bill") legislation
* environmental issues that fall outside of market theory
* calculating costs and benefits of municipal recycling programs
* life-cycle analysis and packaging policy-Germany's "Green Dot" packaging system and producer responsibility
* the impacts of production in extractive and manufacturing industries
* composting and organic waste management
* economics of conservation, and material use and long-term sustainability
Ackerman explains why purely economic approaches to recycling are incomplete and argues for a different kind of decisionmaking, one that addresses social issues, future as well as present resource needs, and non-economic values that cannot be translated into dollars and cents.
Backed by empirical data and replete with specific examples, the book offers valuable guidance for municipal planners, environmental managers, and policymakers responsible for establishing and implementing recycling programs. It is also an accessible introduction to the subject for faculty, students, and concerned c
