Sell your tech.
Save a gorilla's forest.
Every phone holds cobalt, coltan, tungsten and gold. Digging them out clears the central-African rainforest gorillas live in. Sell yours and those minerals get recovered instead of mined.

Facts about the troop at London Zoo's Gorilla Kingdom
The world's largest primate
Gorillas are the largest primates on Earth, weighing up to 200kg, yet they share 98.4% of their DNA with us.
Critically endangered
All four gorilla subspecies are critically endangered. Western lowland gorillas are in decline across central and western Africa.
Under threat
They face poaching, disease, deforestation and climate change, and mining for the minerals inside our tech destroys their rainforest home.
London Zoo's Gorilla Kingdom is home to a troop of western lowland gorillas: silverback Kiburi, females Effie and Mjukuu, and youngsters including babies Venus and Juno.
The minerals are already out of the ground. That is the whole idea.
Every phone, tablet and laptop contains cobalt, coltan, tungsten and gold, and digging them out clears and pollutes the central-African rainforests gorillas call home. Sell or recycle your old tech and those minerals are recovered and reused, so less needs to be freshly mined. Less mining means more forest left standing.
Hold on to your tech and look after it. The longer a device lasts, the fewer new minerals we need to mine.
When you are done, sell or recycle your old device so its cobalt, gold and copper are recovered, not landfilled.
Choosing a refurbished device keeps minerals in circulation and cuts demand for newly mined ones.
