Recycle Cell Phones at Oakland Zoo
The Oakland Zoo is a committed partner and advocate for the ECO-CELL program. In this video, we see a group of young visitors learning about the connection between the components of cell phones and hand-held devices and their impact on gorilla and chimpanzee habitats. A succinct and simple explanation that both EDUCATES and CALLS one to ACTION. Great job Oakland Zoo!

You all know that our ECO-CELL mission is driven by a commitment to preserve and protect wildlife habitats, waterways, the environment, and the many oppressed people who live in fear and danger, denied justice and peace — all, simply to give us consumers a better “smartphone” and faster, lighter, nimbler technology.

ECO-CELL has compiled a helpful booklet to provide a broad overview of the issues surrounding e-waste and the threats to wildlife habitats and waterways. Protecting these habitats and resources is at the heart of the ECO-CELL mission.

educate, inform, act.
Our longtime Silverback partners, Zoo Atlanta and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, are our newest featured charity partner. The organizations are doing truly great work to educate, inform, and inspire the public to re-think the connection between our electronic devices and the impact on wildlife habitats in the Congo and elsewhere. And we join them in this call to action.

Zoo Atlanta and ECO-CELL have teamed up to recycle cell phones and save gorillas. As an added incentive in 2012, Zoo Atlanta has launched a promotional program named “Call4Gorillas“. The program includes outreach to schools, universities, businesses, and community groups to recycle electronics to support gorilla conservation efforts.

For the second year in a row, ECO-CELL is attending the AZA Conference, and we couldn’t be happier with our experiences in the host city of Atlanta.
The Georgia Aquarium put on a spectacular party Wednesday night, and showed all of us AZA members their world-class facility.

We are pleased to see action and political pressure to address some of the concerns that we’ve been championing for years. When ECO-CELL began in 2003, one of our goals was to educate the general public about the “true cost” of the electronic devices we use everyday. Destruction, violence, and bloodshed — all are components of our “smart-phones” and modern “conveniences.”
