Recycle a phone, adopt a tree?

Nokia is doing his its bit to save mother nature! Recently, they come out with this meaningful program titled "Recycle a phone, adopt a tree", where Nokia users are urged to recycle their old phone in order to shield the environment from harmful substances! This offer a solutions to users where they don't really know what to do with their old phone besides keeping it, just as people do not know what to do with their old furniture. While this old phone problem is solved, I still can't figure out how to handle old furniture ;)


To recycle a phone, first you will have to find a Nokia Kiosk. According to the site, they are only available at The Curve, The Gardens and KTS Cellular. I certainly hope there will be more of these Kiosk around Malaysia! Then there are 5 simple steps to follow:
Step 1: Select "Recycling" on the screen.
Step 2: Slot in your MyKad or input your personal details.
Step 3: Collect the printed Barcode sticker and apply it onto your phone or accessory.
Step 4: Place your item with barcode sticker into the Recycling slot.
Step 5: Collect the receipt and have a great day!

Besides, Nokia also involve in a joint-venture with WWF and Equinox Publishing to replant trees in the Sebangau National Forest in Central Kalimantan, and you can adopt one as well! This innovative replanting project provides a novel way for anyone to participate by tagging selected trees with their names and monitoring its growth through geotags, that are trees labelled with precise map co-ordinates, by Google Earth.
