A reminder: smartphones has its fingerprint on child slavery. Terrible to know we all are contributing for that as long we buy those devices using raw materials like those from Congo.
About smartphone quantity consuming you forgot to mention that US is 3rd largest consumer (Brazil, 5th and Germany, 8th). Also remembering that smartphones are cheaper in US than in Europe or in South America, therefore it is a factor to influence consuming. Let's not be mislead by this video's example. ; )
What is the solution to bring sustainable mobile phone which don't affect any birds through the radiation? 🙁

Hipsters are too hypocritical to exist. Yet they continue to exist.
Telling strangers they think things that they clearly don't think at all is pretty intimidating though. I wouldn't want one of them to tell me I think things that I clearly don't think at all. I better watch my mouth.
Great video! I look forward to the version of this video in Spanish!
I hope this is the sociology video we're suppose to watch lmao
Anybody know which software was used to create this video?
this really should have much more views!
Check this out! http://www.into-theworld.org/sustainability.html
Very clearly explained! I will use it in my lesson plan. Thank you!
Perhaps post it notes are the way to go. At least they are produced from renewable sources and are fully recyclable!
This video already is outdated at its release. In the DRC the rebels have been pushed out of the country with help of the UN. Yes there might be bad working conditions but this is due to the fact, that it is mostly artisanal mining. So the miners are selfemployed. So they should complain with themselves for bad working (long hours) and safety conditions. If international mining companies would come in and improve their safety and working conditions, the NGOs would start complaining about them taking away "their rights" and their business (while probably employing them at better terms that they had themselves). Also this artisanal, "informal" and mostly illegal mining is also responsible for the polution (i.e. use of Mercury in Gold Mining) causing damage to the environment and health of the people. But it is easy to just point fingers without presenting solutions for these poor (but rich in commodities) countries.
There's already a try to make a more socially and ecologically fair phone, check it out: http://www.fairphone.com/ , of course less consumption is also basic. check degrowth out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrowth the consumers, we vote every time we shop… and not only..
Interresting video, thank you! I will show it to my workshop participants when they ask me why we don't use iPads instead of post-consumer Post-it notes and flip charts that will be 100% recycled at the end of the session. Way to go weareedeos!!
We can not return and save the environment and same for the worker, So How ..
We r the user How we can do for next generation and being a messenger for peace
It'd be even better if numbers on consumer sales mentioned the top 3 to 5 nations, and not just Germany. The general public is too conditioned to look where they are directed to look and often it is away from what they too are doing.
Also a mention of the benefit a company gets in keeping profits offshore tax free would also shed more light on a tilted playing field which favors big business over actual workers, local communities and companies that can not move their operations abroad to take advantage of criminally cheep labor.
Good representation of the invisible side of the technological revolution and consumerism. Thumbs up.
