When you "green" your existing phone or purchase a "greened" phone, you will offset the electricity required to charge your phone with new, clean, renewable energy. To put this simple decision in perspective, it's as though you planted 8 trees or decided to not drive your car to work for a whole week (based on average commuting distance of 16 miles each way).

If everyone greened their cell phones it would be like taking over 2,500,000 cars off the road or like planting more than 2 billion trees or like recycling almost 90 billion aluminum cans or recycling over 7 million tons of newspaper or, well...you get the idea.
