If you have ever wished you could own a more eco friendly cell phone then Sprint has a new announcement that you might be quite interested in. Sprint is coming out with the very Earth friendly LG Remarq. The LG Remarq is going to have a slew of features that are designed to help save the environment and is even going to have an Eco Calculator so you can calculate just how much CO2 you are pumping into the atmosphere. The LG Remarq is going to be made up of partly recycled plastics and the entire device will be 87% recyclable when it comes time to get rid of the phone. Not only will the phone be recyclable but the box it comes in will be made of recycled paper, printed with soy ink and will not contain any paper manuals. All of the manuals will be made available online so as to save on paper products.

Specs wish the LG Remarq is not all that remarkable. The phone is set to come with a sliding QWERTY keypad, 1.3 megapixel camera and QCGA display. While these are rather pedestrian specs it is the way the phone makes you feel good about yourself for doing your part for the environment that sets it apart from other mobile devices. The LG Remarq is set to hit store shelves on May 9th for $0 on a two year contract and rebates. So if you are looking to save some money and save the earth at the same time then I would suggest picking up an LG Remarq this May. Mother Earth will surely thank you for sacrificing a little bit of cell phone to help save the environment, just like the Sony Ericsson Aspen.

The beautiful sleek design comes in black, white, and silver. This is a phone that means business and will help you do the same.
