Plastic Bottles made good with Motorola's green "Renew" phone

I hate plastic water bottles, they are such a waste, but now I guess I have a reason to hate them a little less. Motorola just introduced a new phone made from recycled plastic water bottles.

Here's the story from Yahoo tech.

Reading the review, I guess my big questions is - "why didn't they make a phone that both had the latest features and was also made from "green" materials. Did the Motorola folks figure that "making the phone "green" was enough to make the "greenies" happy so they didn't need to add the best stuff?"

Or were they looking for it to fail?

According to my theory that 'people will ALWAYS go green if it's doesn't cost more or limit features, SOMETIMES go green if it only costs a bit more or is in particular product areas (baby foods for example) and NEVER go green if the tradeoffs are too high', I predict this phone will be, at best, a limited success. That's too bad, because it's a really good idea.

    With plastic bag pollution being a rising concern, many shoppers need to start using reusable cotton canvas bags in order to stop the pollution.
    Plastic bag pollution is very deadly and takes hundreds of years to break down. Even if the component is broken done, the deadly chemicals will go into the ground and water system. By reducing the usage of plastic bag, Earth can recuperate. That's why cotton bags should be used world wide to help reduce the pollution.
    It is our generation to stop the pollution and start using cotton canvas bags as the solution. With global warming going out of hand from gas exhaustion, we don't need any more problems especially plastic bags that are harmful when broken down naturally. These broken down elements cause sickness and destruction to the air, soil and water system.
    Use cotton canvas bags starting today as a way to stop the plastic pollution that is becoming a major threat to the environment. Our lives are threatened ever more from the growing usage of plastic bags. It is time you bring a canvas bag to shopping the next time you go to a supermarket.
