Remember when the EU led phone manufacturers to an agreement to use a standard charging port for future devices? That port was micro-USB and phones have been shipping with the port for quite some time now.
Why?
After all, if you're anything like me, you're overrun with the things. Dozens of power bricks with USB ports and dozens of micro-USB (and mini-) USB leads.
The reason behind the switch was to reduce the ecological impact of continuously shipping and junking phone chargers.
So how about leaving the charger out of new phone boxes in future? Anyone without an existing charger can buy one as an accessory sale at the phone shop, whilst the rest of us will thank you for saving us the clutter and doing a little bit to save the planet too...
