Introduction

Lets face it, our planet is in trouble. It's been a long time since I've seen a topic on social media that doesn't involve the environment or conservation. But as humans we are very capable of solving big problems. We just need to start small by doing whats right for the planet ourselves!

Recycling your old phone.

If you're not planning on upgrading your phone anytime soon, but are looking for a way to get some extra cash for the holidays (or just for yourself), there's an easy solution. Old phones can be worth money! In fact, people will pay hundreds of dollars for them. And if you don't want to sell yours and would rather donate it, many charities will gladly accept donations of used goods like this.

So how do you go about getting rid of your old phone? The first step is determining what kind of model it is:

Donating your clothes.

Did you know that for every ten pounds of clothing donated, one can be purchased at a local thrift store? That's right! If you're looking to donate your clothes, don't just set them on the curb. Find out which organizations are in need of donations in your area and get them to those organizations! Here are some options:

• Local charities

• Local shelters

• Local schools and universities

• Local thrift stores (thrift stores rarely accept used goods from individuals)

Plant a tree or garden.

Plant a tree or garden. You can do this in your backyard, at the local park, or even on your roof. Trees and gardens help to improve air quality and provide shade on hot days by keeping temperatures down. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—the major greenhouse gas responsible for climate change—while releasing oxygen back into it. And plants that are grown in gardens produce more oxygen than those left uncultivated!

Doing whats right for the planet.

We all know the planet needs help. Our oceans are polluted and our atmosphere is filled with carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. Do your part to help save both by doing whats right for the planet!

How can you do whats right for the planet? You can recycle more items in your home, use energy efficient light bulbs, carpool or take public transportation when you can instead of driving yourself. These are all great ways to help reduce pollution and lower carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.

How do I get started with doing whats right for the planet? Start small! For example, try switching out one incandescent light bulb in your house with an LED bulb (these last up to 10 times longer than regular incandescent lights). Or maybe plant some trees; they absorb carbon dioxide from the air while they grow and release oxygen back into it once they are mature enough to produce leaves on their own!

Conclusion

These are just a few of the easy ways to help our planet via your phone. As we continue to learn about the harmful effects of our habits on the environment and how we can make changes, it’s important that we all do our part. The more people who join in on this trend, the better off we all will be!
