Consumer guides

Make IT green. What do you do when your mobile phone stops working? Or your computer breaks down? Every year, we throw away up to 50 million tonnes of unwanted electronic waste – e-waste. That’s enough to fill one million trucks that would stretch half way around the entire globe if they were parked end to end.
 
The consumer guide is available:
in English                in Polish
in Czech              in Hungarian
 
 
China calling: make IT fair. Chances are that your mobile phone was made in China. Half of the world’s mobile phones are made there – as well as huge numbers of computers, MP3 players and game consoles.
 
The consumer guide is available:
in English         in Polish         in Hungarian        in Czech

 

 

Would you like a phone made of gold? The makeITfair campaign is calling on big brand electronics companies to take responsibility for improving the appalling social and environmental conditions in the mineral mines around the world.

The consumer guide is available:
in English      in Polish       in Hungarian     in Czech

 

 

Find out the true cost of a phone call in this consumer guide. Now the makeITfair campaign is calling on young people across Europe to help improve the lives of workers in the developing world who make our electronic dreams come true. Together, we can make IT fair for people everywhere!
