Consistent with MobileMuster's aims to increase awareness of the benefits of recycling mobile phones, the small independent organisation, Eco-innovations, has produced an animation called The Secret Life of the little mobile phone.

This 5-minute animation explores the life of the mobile phone in a fun and engaging way. It provides key facts on what goes into a mobile and what can be recycled. Mobilemuster sees this as great tool for schools and unis. Its also a great way to connect with Gen Y.

So why not share it around, tweet it, facebook it.

This animation is the first of a series of short animated videos exploring the hidden environmental impacts of everyday things. The first animation the secret life of a little mobile phone is an entertaining look at mobile phone life cycle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKyrB2Jn2Zs.
