Potted Daffodils for Old Cell Phones

Most of us have a few old cell phones lying around and maybe a couple cables that we really do not need. One company, Golden Triangle Business Improvement District, recently put on a promotion called “Flowers for Phones.”

The idea is very simple, the company set up stands in a couple parks throughout the city, where old used cell phones were collected in exchange for beautiful potted daffodils. For most people this is a fairly good trade for a pile of junk they haven’t known what to do with.

It has been estimated that there are about 500 million used cell phones throughout the country, they are potentially harmful to the environment and to their owners. This is one cheap and easy way to solve this problem. Every model and make of mobile phones is accepted, as well as batteries, chargers and accessories…
