Do a Eco Call
Found this interesting Eco friendly phone on the web. Hope the facts about the phone sounds interesting to you. But if you ask me whether i carry this phone the answer is no. But i still have my nokia 1100 which i bought it in second hand from my sister for 1000 rupees some 4 years back. I still not thought of buying a new phone instead i replaced the spares which ever gave trouble like the body but not the key pad.I think it's good to replace rather than going for a new if at all it doesn't give big trouble. My phone nearly looks like an antique piece but that din make me to go for another one. In case after a year or two i might switch to this Eco friendly phone. But now i am happy with what i have and proud of not adding an another junk to the environment. I believe when you stop buying it stops the manufacturing too. After all a mobile according to me is a devise to say hello.
Samsung Reclaim
The new Samsung Reclaim is being billed as "the first phone in the U.S. constructed from eco-friendly bio-plastic materials":
"Made from 80 percent recyclable materials, Samsung Reclaim is a feature-rich messaging phone that offers environmentally conscious customers a perfect blend of responsibility without sacrificing the latest in network speeds and must-have features.
Its bio-plastic material, made from corn, makes up 40 percent of the Reclaim’s outer casing. Samsung Reclaim is free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), phthalates, and nearly free of brominated flame retardants (BFR): three materials commonly targeted on green electronics guidelines.
The outer packaging and the phone tray inside the box are made from 70 percent recycled materials. The images and text on the box as well as the phone warranty information are printed with soy-based ink.The typical thick paper user manual has been replaced with a virtual manual that users can access online."

Restroom Posters
These posters basically done with the intention to provide to all the corporates in chennai to insist and encourage thier employees not to leave a bulb switched on when not in use inside the restroom.The tone of the communication is hilarious without being educative unlike communication with serious tone which might miss out the attention of the readers. This could be a small step towards making this world a bit more greener.If we notice in today's trend there are lot of offices which doesn't care for the electrical and electronic appliances being used 24/7 even if it is not really required. They use the AC'S even if the outside temperature is really cool because it's cool thing to do for the corporates in the name of globalisation.Hardly you see people being simple in their day to day activities.They are least bothered even if their colleagues computer is on from monday to friday even if they know he/she is in off.Lot of things needs to be changed if not right now atleast in coming days.The more sooner we change, we care, our perspective towards luxury changes we might save ourself and our future generation to some point.Keeping the computer on and doing our own things in office is not luxury, When ever you enter you want the lights to be on in the rest room again this is not luxury.We wont keep our lights, AC'S and computers on in our houses, there we become responsible, we talk about electricity and money.Remember our luxuries should not affect anyone.We as of now living in others time, we borrowed everyday we borrowing each moment of them. Remember we will not be there to give the precious time we misuse now back to future generation. Let them live happily. Let our life style change.Be Conscious because we living in someone's time.Last but not the least if anybody really interested to contribute some good to the world and really cared about the future and want to do something about it want to see some change for the good around us. Please you are welcome to get me a sponsor and contacts to put these posters inside the offices you know, are you may help me to get in touch with the HR or in some way to get these posters to be a reality.You can help getting some sponsors or help me to get contacts or join with me in Goviagreen for a good cause.Together we can achieve millions.Come join the expedition.
