Reduction in Landfill The world produces billions of tons of domestic waste each year, and 25% of this comes from the USA - even though it only accounts for 5% of the world’s population. Less consupmtion means less packaging means less material needs to be dumped in land fill. Even when it’s recycled it needs energy which means more fossil fuel burning. Much better for the planet not to have any waste in the first place. Fewer Mobile Phones sold Some people change their mobile phone more often than they change their socks. It has become a throw away, fashion accesory, which means extra tonnes of toxins going into landfill and subsequently poisoning the water table. Also, mobile phones contain elements which are mined in majority from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the sale of which funds a civil war which has killed up to 4 million people and wiped out half the world’s gorillas.
