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.

Learn more about the science of neglect on our website: https://goo.gl/wUtAw9

Extensive biological and developmental research shows significant neglect—the ongoing disruption or significant absence of caregiver responsiveness—can cause more lasting harm to a young child’s development than overt physical abuse, including subsequent cognitive delays, impairments in executive functioning, and disruptions of the body’s stress response. This edition of the InBrief series explains why significant deprivation is so harmful in the earliest years of life and why effective interventions are likely to pay significant dividends in better long-term outcomes in learning, health, and parenting of the next generation.

This 6-minute video provides an overview of The Science of Neglect: The Persistent Absence of Responsive Care Disrupts the Developing Brain, a Working Paper from the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child.
