      Welcome to UNIT 2 called 

      My Smartphone, Planet Earth & Me!


      In this unit you will "unblack" the box (= your phone) and discover what treasures are hidden inside. You will also learn about the precious raw materials in a phone and where to find them. Unfortunately, they are often mined in terrible conditions.

      A lot of the things we own seem to inevitably end up in the trash. That's kind of a shame because most of those things can be upcycled in tons of fun and creative ways. This, in turn, reduces waste, which is great for the environment.

      Phase #03: Consolidation

      Sam
      After everything you have learned in this Unit, you should walk around the world with your eyes open to the impact your phone has on planet Earth. 

      It contains so many valuable resources, often mined in inhumane and terrible conditions. 

      So it is really important to use your phone as long as possible, and when you can no longer, you can still reuse or recycle it sensibly! 
      Do not hide it in one of your drawers!
