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.

We have good news to start the new year. Vermont has joined a number of other states in banning electronic waste from landfills.
As the new year begins, Vermont is joining New York, Pennsylvania and South Carolina in instituting laws banning electronic waste from landfills, bringing to 24 the number of states with similar measures, according to the Electronics TakeBack Coalition, a San Francisco-based group that monitors the fate of “e-waste.”

“Today’s Green Minute with Jim Parks” video (1:25) on our Zoo-based recycling program. Jim gives a nice and simple explanation of coltan mining and our efforts to save gorilla habitats by recycling cell phones and e-waste. Another great success story from an ECO-CELL Silverback partner: The Louisville Zoo.
