Sony Ericsson combats global warming by releasing the Hazel
With climate change and global warming becoming such a big part of our new headlines, many people are starting to take drastic measures to help reduce their carbon footprint. Most businesses and companies now have regulations in place for their offices, which include using greener light bulbs, using special taps that do not run forever but give say 10 seconds worth of water and many other features such as insulation. The new Sony Ericsson phone, the Sony Ericsson Hazel is designed to give out as little emissions as possible in the manufacturing process.
First of all, the Hazel is mainly made out of recycled plastic rather than using brand new plastic. This not only allows the price to be slightly cheaper to the public but it also means that factories do not have to burn lots of dangerous chemicals to produce new plastic, which in turn makes sure that the environment is not so badly affected. The phone features a built in manual. Rather than having a paperback manual of how the phone works, it is all built into the phone allowing you to still have all the necessary details to hand, but saving paper which in turn helps save the rainforests.
Featuring a 5 megapixel camera, you’re only a button away from taking high quality photographs which can then be uploaded directly onto your Facebook by using the Facebook widget which saves you having to go through an internet browser to connect. The Sony Ericsson eco-phone is expected to be released around March 2010, and although an official price tag has not been announced, it is expected to be available for around £130 or for a undetermined monthly rate with the Hazel on contract.
