So think about all the electronic components in the device you used to post that: where they came from, how they were made, and what happens to them when you dispose of it and get a new device...

I’ve had the same phone for years :) cheap Teflon pans don’t last this long. Also I NEED a cellular device in this day and age. I don’t use Teflon, goretex, harsh cleaning chemicals, laundry detergents. Literally everything I purchase is as environmentally friendly as possible. Once they come up with an eco friendly phone I’ll be all over that. But until then I’ll use this one until it breaks and I absolutely have to get another one. Just because I have ONE thing isn’t great for the environment doesn’t mean I should give up everywhere else. 🫡

A smart phone that doesn't use rare earth metals isn't going to ever happen.

Oh, for sure. I just thought it was somewhat ironic.
