Why don’t more of us recycle our smartphones since there are so many valuable minerals inside?

Well, they are designed for use, but not for reuse or recycling. That’s why it is hard to open them, repair them or remove broken parts. No surprise, this all centers on earning more financial profit and that creates an endless cycle of demanding and consuming more and more.

So please: think twice when you want to buy a new phone. Do you really need a new phone? The truth is: The most sustainable phone, is the one in your pocket – make it last! And if you’re in the market for a new one, Fairphone is your sustainable alternative.

Malnutrition can happen to anyone, but older adults are particularly at risk. Malnutrition does not just happen to seniors who suffer from hunger, or who do not have access to healthy food. Older adults are more likely to have chronic conditions that put them at risk for malnutrition. Cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and other conditions can impact appetite, make eating difficult, change metabolism, and require dietary restrictions. This short “pocket film” covers who is at risk for malnutrition, the debilitating impact it can have on older adults, tips for identifying the condition, and how it can be treated and prevented. The film is also available in Spanish. Learn more at http://www.agingresearch.org/Malnutrition
