Abstract:
The paper analyses the Romanians’ attitude regarding the impact of cell phones on human health and on the environment.  We conclude how dependent Romanians’ are on mobile phones, they willing to buy the latest technical innovations, very few being those who prefer classic phones. It is surprising that in a civilized society there are still consumers who throw used mobile phones in the trash, without being aware of the danger of this gesture on the environment. It is needed the involvement of the government and of various civic organizations to increase the education level of the population, to have a more sustainable environmental behavior.
