I see environmental impact of electronics frequently mentioned but, gotta be honest, I'm not sure I really buy that there is a major environmental impact there. Even if someone is getting a brand new phone every year, that's how much plastic and silicon? In a year? Compare that to the daily disposable plastics just for food. Or the amount of plastics for shipping and storing goods.
