Nowadays, cellphones have become a necessity in our lives. However,
like other manufactured goods, they can be expensive (1) when broken.
Considering how fragile some cellphones can be, they are usually used for
a short period of time before being discarded without a second thought.
They are also replaced as soon as new models become available. These
factors have huge environmental consequences, which can only be
effectively (2) by recycling.

air. Once they're in the environment, they could cause serious damage to
plants, animals, and eventually us. Furthermore, the resources needed
to produce cellphones are obtained through mining, deforestation, and

These problems can be avoided (5) we recycle unwanted cellphones.
Hopefully, by using recycled materials, we can better protect Mother Nature

in the age of consumer electronics.
