Billions of us rely on our cell phones, and every year we are tempted and encouraged to get the next best upgraded version . . . and many of us do. But can an electronic gadget have an impact on wild gorilla populations? What is the connection between gorillas and your cell phone? We’re going to be chatting with a man that has been working with Zoos across the United States to bring awareness to this connection.  Could we get to a point where cell phone providers might one day offer ‘Gorilla Safe’ cell phones?! Do we need that? Yes!  Join us for a fascinating conversation with Eric Ronay, a Gadget Recycler and Ape lover that has been grappling with millions of discarded cell phones for over 20 years.  <a href='https://www.eco-cell.com/'>Eco-Cell </a> <a href='https://www.eco-cell.com/drop-off-locations'>Cell phone recycling drop off locations</a> <a href='https://www.eco-cell.com/partnersinaction'>Gorillas on the line</a> <a href='https://gorillassp.org/Home'>Gorilla Species Survival Plan </a> <a href='https://virunga.org/'>Virunga National Park </a> <a href='https://gorillafund.org'>Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund </a> Interview with: Eric Ronay  Things that make you say &quot;Wow&quot;!

We’re gonna dig deep into some really amazing people and topics — cultivating ideas about nature, the environment and conservation — in your backyard and globally. We want to share stories with you where the only intention may be for you to say,“Wow, I didn’t know that!”…and now that you do, maybe you might think about your relationship with it differently, share the information with a friend or get involved.
