Universal Cell/Mobile Phone Charger Standard Set by United Nations
Charging our mobile phones is something that we do every other day or even everyday depending on how we use our mobile phones. Mobile phones come with different colors, design and brands and sadly they come with different charger connectors and operating voltages.
It would be nice to have just one type of charger for every mobile phone on the market regardless of size, model and brand. As of now I have at least three mobile phones with different brands: Motorola Motozine 5 (Verizon Droid next in line for purchase), Samsung Impression SGH-A877 and Nokia N900 smartphone – all with their own charges. I’m not confused as to which one charges this or that but the the downside is when traveling you really have to take all the chargers with you, and fully charging your phone really takes a long, long time.

Now, the International Telecommunication Union, a branch of the United Nations, just passed a universal standard for cell phone battery chargers. This new charger design reduces consumer headaches, the ITU expects the approved connectors – which will be in the micro-USB format – to reduce e-waste and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 13.6 million tons per year and is expected to be three times more efficient than the current chargers we have today.
This move is very significant in reducing the carbon footprint of mobile phone charging. This is a common-sense solution especially that new mobile phones brand keeps on appearing. Hopefully this mobile phone charger standard set by the United Nations for manufacturers will be adapted by the major players in the mobile phone industry since it is only voluntary.
