Things We Love: E-Waste Art

I'm always struggle with what to do with my old electronics.  Every two years, I get a new smartphone and the old one gets shoved into a drawer, lost in the great abyss of old camera, phones, and iPods.  According to an article by the National Geographic, over 98 million cell phones on Earth took their last call in 2005. 

That's a little scary to think about.  

Internationally acclaimed artist, Chris Jordan, made headlines this week with his innovative e-waste artwork in Sydney, Australia made of over 600 old mobile phones.  Check out more about this sustainable statement artwork from the Sydney National Herald at http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mobiles/national-recycling-week-chris-jordan-turns-mobile-ewaste-into-art-20141112-11kyf5.html.
