Do you know how many kilos of CO2 it takes for one phone to be made? According to 8billiontrees.com, it takes about of 80 kg of CO2 emissions to make a phone. This is just the process of mining the materials and exporting them, manufacturing them in factories, and transporting them to companies. After it has been bought, it will emit more CO2 when it is connected to the internet and is being used. With this amount of carbon being used just for one phone, imagine how much CO2 has been emitted because of all the phones around the world. According to researchers in McMaster University, the total carbon emissions of phones are currently 125 megatons per year. So is there any ways to lower our carbon emissions through our phones? Yes, there are many ways to reduce this amount. One way is that we can reduce the screen time of our phones so that less WiFi is used and less co2 is emitted. Another solution is to stop upgrading our phones every year because of the release of new models. Data  shows that newer iPhone models emit more kgs of carbon than older models. Using our phones for an hour every day causes 63 kgs of carbon emissions yearly and using it for 10 hours a day emits 86 kgs of carbon. Reducing screen time and not buying new phone models  will not only be beneficial to us, but also to our planet.
