Sell Cell Phones For The Best Price

Most of us know by now that recycling electronics such as old cell phones is good for the environment. But what many of us may not know is that recycling old cell phones can provide us with some much-needed cash. 

So how much money can you get for recycling your old, unwanted or broken cell phone? It’s hard to say. The Internet is cluttered with thousands of cell phone recycle programs, making it difficult for anyone to determine whether they’re getting the most value for their Motorola Droid or BlackBerry Storm. But there is one recycling price comparison site called SellCell.com that is changing all that.  

SellCell.com is America’s number one cell phone recycling price comparison website that allows users to compare and find the best prices on old and new cell phones. If your personal junk drawer is overflowing with old cell phones and cell phone chargers, it’s time to find out how much you can get for these items waiting to be recycled. Sell Cell compares prices from leading phone buyers so that you don’t have to. What’s more, Sell Cell guarantees the best possible price!

And if you think that SellCell.com and other cell phone recycling programs accept only working cell phones, think again. Sell Cell offers price quotes for end-of-life cell phones. This means your broken cell phone can be mailed in for cash. In fact, according to the company, you can still get up to 90 percent of the value of your phone even if it is damaged or broken.

Although cell phone recycling programs should be common knowledge by now, only 10 percent of cell phones are disposed of properly each year, according to the EPA. This is why SellCell.com makes it easy for people to recycle their cell phones and receive the best possible price.

When is the best time to give away your old cell phone? Think about recycling your cell phone when it’s time to upgrade to a new cell phone or when it breaks.

Going Green at Work

Wherever you are, at work, on the road or at home, it would be a good idea to go green. This is especially true for those that have a business or an office. Home isn’t the only place where people are vulnerable. Below are a few tips that you can follow if you want to go green at your office.

1. The office printer. A lot of people will use the printer from the office to print useless stuff. Since people don’t pay for the ink or the paper, they think it’s OK to do it. But, if they realized how harmful that is for the environment, they would stop. Only print stuff that needs to be printed. Chances are that you will not recycle absolutely everything you print, so you are hurting the environment when you do that. Also, try printing on both sides of the paper.

2. Going and returning from work is the most common type of transport all over the world. You hurt the planet and you spend money on petrol at the same time. Instead, try carpooling. If the distance allows it, consider using a bike. Other options are using the subway, train or the bus. You will help the planet and save some money at the same time. You can use that extra time to listen to an audio book or to music while you’re commuting. Instead of driving through all that road traffic, relax on the way to and from work. One other option would be to video conference, if you really want to work.

3. Instead of a desktop, get a laptop. Laptops consume less energy when compared to desktops and they’re also portable. To realize how they compare, a laptop will need around 50w of energy, with desktops needing around 270. The power saving features of laptops are also better than those of desktops.

Traces of Radiation From Japanese Nuclear Plant Found in Seven States

As a result of the earthquake that hit Japan not so long ago, there is no doubt that the country has been limping back to normalcy, but what has added to the chaos is the consequent damage of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Plant that has now been found to have emitted radiation which has reached about seven states in the United States.

The states that have recorded traces of the said radiation are Alabama, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Alaska, Nevada, and Washington apart from the Pacific Islands of Guam, Saipan, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

In addition to these states, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts along with North and South Carolina have also registered low levels of radiation after the preliminary state testing was completed.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the radiation levels are low (also known as normal background) and not enough to threaten human life or health. Slightly higher radiation levels were detected in Montgomery, this is also where the radiation monitoring system under National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory is located.

Officials are not surprised with the readings due to the fact that the radiation was brought by winds moving from the west to the east.  With this said, radiation will definitely be detected by radiation monitors that are set up throughout the United States.
