Did you know that if all of the smartphones and tablets produced in 2013 were laid end to end, they would encircle the globe more than four and a half times? Earth Month is upon us and many people are searching for a way to do some good for the environment but don’t know where to start. According to Gazelle’s most recent customer survey, nearly 64% of smartphone users recycle, trade in, or reuse their phone when they are done with it. That’s up from 54% a year ago, but it still leaves about 38,000 miles worth of phones and tablets unaccounted for.
