Andrea Bakacs The story of a Green Cell Phone

Mar 1, 2010 07:36 pm

Sorry for my extended hiatus from Changents, but I’ve been very busy getting ready for a major change in my life. I’m heading over to London for a 5 month stint in about 2 weeks time. And while I’ve had a blast showing you the green side of New York, I’m very much looking forward to taking you on my green London adventure as... Continue reading The story of a Green Cell Phone

I'm checking out the options for selling an old iPhone that's been sitting in my office. Thank you for passing along this info! And, EXCITING! London should be a blast. Any chance you're going to catch up with any London Change Agents? Can't wait to see your photos.

I sent my old ipod to www.secondgeneration.com. Hoping to connect with some Changents in London once I'm settled.

Andrea, great to get this update to your story. The info you've provided here is really helpful. There was a time when I had a couple old cell phones sitting in their original boxes for more than a year because I knew they were a potential resource to someone or some organization, but I wasn't sure where the impact would be greatest (and I didn't really have the time to look into it deeply). The combo of interesting and practical in this post is spot-on. Thank you. Best of luck in the UK. Hope you'll keep us up-to-speed with lots of breathtaking (or in some cases, gut-wrenching) photos. ;)

Hi Andrea, Great photography, and great cause. I have been an avid photographer sincew age 17 (many years ago). I mainly enjoy environmental and wildlife photography. I have always had a passion for expressing myself and the world around me through photography. I travel about six months out of the year so I get a good perspective of the country, and the world. You can view some of my work at the following site: http://www.panoramio.com/user/2145723

Being a graduate of NYU, (who took a few photography courses), and presently as Executive Editor at Earth Promise (http://www.earthpromise.com), I can appreciate the visual dedication you have for the environment. Thank you for being such an integral part of our much need change. Be sure to visit today's earth Promsie blog (http://www.earthpromise.com/blog/2009/08/28/photo-activism-using-a-green-lens/) as I featured your work.

Hi Andrea I have some fantastic Weather Photo's Mostly cloud Pictures at the Moment. That I believe are not only Unique in there specialness as a atmospheric wonder but a possible sign , from 'Mother' to take notice of the 'Beauty Shown' but at the same-time what we (as in us individually) leave behind, or create as nuisance for the Earth by not being more ECO-AWARE..

Hello Andrea, I am so glad I checked out your site!! You are saying what has been in the back of my mind for quite awhile!! I too am a photographer and my husband "travels" a lot with his job. Right now we are in Cordova, Alaska. The scenery is stunning and my head swims with all the "potential shots'! The issue I have noticed here is what I call RUST gardens. They have many years worth of dead vehicles just lining their properties b/c there is no way to dispose of them in such a remote spot. It is truly sad and I wish there was a way to convince an otherwise VERY great community that they are hurting their environment. This is a fishing industry so they rely on nature to support them. HELP!! What argument can I use to convince them? Suz
