This post makes an unfounded statement that fair phone is more env friendly because it is repairable. This might be true, and the opposite may be true: maybe fairphone is less env friendly because it breaks more often and requires a lot of spare parts. Maybe they produce more toxic waste during production of fairphone.
- wait-a-minute 7y agoTo be fair the post also says, correctly, that what's better for the environment is also using the phone that you already have. IE keeping it longer.
