Lesson 4 RFCx: the Rainforest Savior
An alert message was immediately sent to White and the forest rangers.
When they approached the logging spot, the illegal loggers ran away.
White published his story on the Internet and word quickly spread.
People living in other countries contacted White and asked if they could use the device.
Others, from around the world, started sending him their old cell phones so he could build more devices.
These devices, called Rainforest Connection (RFCx), are now being used in the rainforests in Africa and South America.
One RFCx can protect 300 hectares of forest.
If a forest of this size is cut, 15,000 tons of CO² are released into the air.
Preventing this amount of CO² from being released has the same effect as taking 3,000 cars off the road for a year.
These devices are saving rainforests and providing new life for thousands of discarded cell phones.
Thanks to Topher White and his RFCx devices, the earth is now a better place to live.
