GOOD SIDE 1 MILLION CELL PHONES - 24 kg GOLD - 250kg SILVER - 9kg PALLADIUM kg COPPER cover 1½ Soccer field 100g bar covers 3 goal boxes

GOOD SIDE 1 MILLION CELL PHONES same as ton GOLD ORE = 8 trucks To get 24kg GOLD

Average weight 100g – 150g – COMPOSITION 45% PLASTIC 35% PRINTED WIRING / CIRCUITBOARD 13% SCREEN 3% MAGNESIUM 4% METALS 1 MILLION CELL PHONES – 90ton PLASTIC – 40ton OTHER – 9,2ton GREAT GOOD SIDE

REALITY 40 ton other Bromine – thyroid, hormone, brain, cancer Chlorine – tissue damage & destruction of cells structure Mercury – brain & kidney damage Lead – reproductive, blood & nervous system Arsenic – impacts skin, liver, nervous & respiratory systems Cadmium – deficits in cognition, learning, behaviour & neuro motor skills
