News that 'WAP-enabled' mobile phone carbon calculators are soon to be available to the world after a 'soft launch' to staff at TNT Post has confused the blue brain cells somewhat.
As mobile phones have to be charged at least once a day – probably twice a day if people start using them to do sums as well – surely that uses electricity, which means they have a sizeable 'carbon footprint' of their own.
Any expert opinion on this would be gratefully received.
