Like most problems, the 'solution' to reducing CO2 emmissions is made up of a bunch of smaller changes, and will not be one large 'fix'. I see no harm in chipping away at even the smallest of gains, provided we continue/push changes at all levels. Even 57kg * millions of devices over 18 months (average lifetime of a phone) is still a substantial amount of CO2 being released, even if it is dwarfed by other sources.

(Because metals are extremely energy intensive to refine and recycle.) The main environmental killers are still means of transport. A car is a ton of metal... Housing also demands plenty of energy in materials.
