The common charger - Good news for consumer - Good news for the environment

Every time we change our phone we usually get a new charger, which leads to an enormous amount of unnecessary charger waste. This affects both consumers and the environment. But thanks to the EU Commission, Europe's major mobile phone manufacturers have now agreed to adopt a universal charger for data-enabled mobile phones sold in the EU.

You forgot to mention, that it's good news to manufacturers. Now they save on not bundling chargers with their phones, and they even look environmental-friendly (instead of cheap and greedy, which they are).

The initiative is good, but I think they were just waiting for a reason to ditch the chargers anyway.
