As often as Americans get new cell phones, we might as well try going green with them. Nokia has created a new cell phone made from (almost) all recycled materials. The outside is made from recycled aluminum, the glass is made from recycled bottles, and the rubber on the hinge comes from recycled tires. The insides are not made from recycled materials, but are from previous phones. The company is also reducing the packaging it uses when shipping phones, saving 150 million euros a year.

I think that people should use recylced phones. So many more people are buying phones and it would be better for the environment if people bought recylcled phones. That is so cool because I never knew that there were recycled phones.
