I think all carriers should follow the lead of sprint, I mean it shouldn't be that hard to find ways to are eco-friendly. I think Sprint is making smart business choices and many consumers would be more willing to put their money into electronics that will not affect the environment in a dramatic way.

Yeah out of all the carriers, Sprint was the only one given a grant by the government to invest further in renewable energy and green technologies. That says something.
