New Way To Own A Mobile Phone
New mobiles with updated technologies come out every year so why are we stuck in a model that forces encourages us to buy instead of leasing?
That's the idea behind the Linc, a concept mobile phone and platform by Greener Grass. You sign a contract and they send you a phone. A year from now you send it back for the latest and greatest. Kinda sorta similar to what some companies allow now with trade-ins except your old Linc actually gets recycled, like all of it. This model demonstrates a sustainable cradle-to-cradle solution instead of our current cradle-to-waste system.
Would you be into it? I think Kitsune Noir is.

thanks for the link! "cradle-to-waste" is a really good way of describing our current mindset towards consumer electronics, and hopefully concepts like ours will help people think beyond that.

This is a great idea to get our dream mobile as soon as possible. Thanks
