Eric Koston & Friends Show You How Phones Affect The Environment

We eat, sleep, and do bathroom stuff all with our phones in hand. But have we ever really checked in on how it affects the environment? Berrics co-founder Eric Koston breaks down how a renewed smartphone helps prevent toxic e-waste, produces way less carbon emissions, prevents raw materials from being mined, and even saves water. Buying a refurbished phone isn't going to save the world, but it is a painless way to help (and it keeps your wallet fat, not flat). Koston, Samarria Brevard, Tyler Peterson, and Mariah Duran demonstrate the effects that phone manufacturing has on the environment in the above edit… the perfect Earth Month video hype.

The Berrics was founded by professional skateboarders Steve Berra and Eric Koston in December of 2007. With over 10,000 skateboarding videos under their belt, including Battle at The Berrics, Do A Kickflip and Life on Video, The Berrics is not only one of the most popular online platforms in skate culture but the one of the most famous skate spots in the world. Berra + Eric = Berrics.

Imagine waking up from a coma in 1992 to see koston & this video in 2022.

Another problem is most of the big companies are designing their stuff so its hard to repair, if you support not producing excess e-waste then look at what's going on with right to repair legislation in your area.

When you act like individuals are the source of the problem and not the lack of regulation of companies freely polluting

Eric, serious question. What phone do you have and is it refurbished?

[luibond]

This is embarrassing. Not only do all these skaters have smartphones but at the end, as predicted, it’s all a marketing scheme for another company that no one’s heard of. Pretending to care about the environment, is the new way to sell you a product/service

Virtue signal received, loud and clear!

Stay in your lane, Berrics.

Feel like Koston is the liberal mom and Berra is the conservative dad 🤣🤣

Now talk about statistic of the skateboard making process. How many trees are cut, how many water, how many chemicals.

[ZachLeCroy]

I'm just curious if Koston is actually passionate on this subject or if it was only for the pay day

[GammaGlass]

Thanks berric I was stupid before I watched this video. Now I'm so smart my brain couldn't handle it and blew up. Now I'm even dumber.

[seeeeeej]

This is hilariously ironic when they all drive Teslas

[dfloriza]

Koston: all this stuff is bad for the environment, let’s not do this
Mike Mo: *selling NFTs*

Dude was literally filming at the hubba hideout resurrection with an iPhone 13 like a week ago

[djmon]

But how will I be able to download the Caffeine app on some old, outmoded phone?!

[mf]

berrics been really milking the cash cow lately ...

[veryfrozen]

Thought he was gonna talk about the harmful effects of EMF radiation

[capslkctrldelete]

I know retired athletes do commercials but this is a stretch lol

[xyvxyethe]

what does this have to do with skateboarding? that board is made out of trees

[Slipxox]

Umm I'm wondering which lobby group paid for this 🤔

[MuMuKuh]

Why do I get schooled on e-waste when I subscribed to a skate channel?
