This huge customer is beneficial for the telemarketers but as the proud habitat of this Planet we need to know about the facts that what is happening with this increase in numbers. Here we are going to discuss some relevant points which a mobile user should know.

With the invention of new technologies every year Tele manufacturing industries are introducing their new enhanced products. Obviously those are user-friendly and helpful to making our life easier. But when we are accepting the new we are throwing the old one and that is how we are polluting our environment. Materials of cellphones to its battery every part is responsible for polluting our Earth when we dispose them casually without knowing its proper disposal methods.
