Urs Lesse's expertise is in the field of political science, but he also has a more hands-on interest. Every four weeks he gives up his time to help people fix their phones, in his home city of Aachen in the west of Germany. But he can't help you with any make of phone - just one brand called Fairphone. For the past eight years Mr Lesse has been an active member of an unpaid skills-sharing network of dedicated Fairphone users. He organises local community meetings and helps with repairs. "I don't repair phones if I don't have to, but I have always been strongly motivated to encourage people to try to fix their own Fairphones by themselves," he says. "It has always been a matter of passing on information and taking the inhibition away from the people to dare and open their phones," he explains. With a modular design, Fairphone devices allow components such as the display screen, battery, USB ports and cameras to easily be exchanged, repaired and customised by their owners. "The Fairphone 2 could be taken apart in under two minutes," says Mr Lesse. "There were models where you didn't even need tools to take the display off in order to replace it yourself." Fairphone customers range from programmers who have been drawn to the software possibilities of the phones, to consumers in search of a more sustainable product. The firm started in 2013 and follows four principles: sourcing raw materials from non-conflict mining areas, and making products that are recyclable, long-lasting and repairable. According to United Nations figures, a record 53.6m tonnes of electronic waste was generated worldwide in 2019 - up 21% in just five year - with mobile phones making up a significant part of this. What's more, only 17% of electronic waste was recycled. Fairphone argues that by making phones easy to fix they can have a longer working life, generating less waste and so having a positive impact on the environment. "We know that by increasing the lifespan of a phone by at least two years, you get a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions," says Fairphone co-founder Miquel Ballester. So far, the Dutch firm has sold some 400,000 devices - which means it is a very small player in the smartphone market. "Fairphone is still a niche product, which can't be found in many stores, which is why the community network is important," says Mr Lesse. Yet Fairphone has created waves within the industry, particularly in Germany, where it has earned a significant body of support. Germany has presented Fairphone with numerous certifications and awards, most notably in 2016 the German Environmental Award, the most lucrative environmental prize in Europe. Mr Ballester believes this government acclaim, as opposed to industry market recommendations, is one of the reasons Fairphone has gained such a sizeable following in Germany in comparison to other European markets. Germans tend to be less attached to the status of big brands and are therefore more experimental with trying smaller European ones, the company says. In Hamburg, Ingo Strauch, who also volunteers to help fellow users, says that many people mention data privacy and the easy use of the phone over its environmental benefits. The firm's po[CENSORED]rity in Germany could also be due to Germany's individual purchasing power. "Germany is a wealthy country. The willingness to reach deeper into your pocket for a seemingly fair product is therefore also higher," says Mr Lesse. Fairphone says its priority is not just growth, it wants to change the way the industry works. "We don't want to necessarily become the biggest of the industry, but we want to become the most influential and make sure other manufacturers mirror some of the initiatives that we have," says Mr Ballester. There is some evidence of a preference shift in wider society, says Prof Sigrid Kannengiesser, who specialises in media practices and sustainability at Bremen university. She points to the rise of repair cafés in western Europe and North America, and also to the recent announcement by the European Commission establishing a right to repair, "Consumers, politicians but also some actors in the economy understand that our societies and the way of living of many people must become more sustainable," says Prof Kannengiesser. The big players in the industry have been taking note. Last year Apple launched its "self service repair" initiative, giving customers access to Apple parts and tools. "Self Service Repair is intended for individual technicians with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices," says the firm. So how does Fairphone's latest model, the Fairphone 4, compare with other mobiles? Chris Hall, of gadgets website Pocket-lint.com, is broadly positive: "The Fairphone 4 is a solid mid-range device, but it's unique selling point is sustainability, rather than stand-out performance in any other area. "It's impressive that it offers some water resistance, but it's not protected to the same extent as flagship phones. That's a minor downside considering that this is a mid-range device. "As such, while it offers reasonable performance, it's never going to be a power house and when it comes to sheer performance."

Want to Climb a Mountain? Here are 5 Peaks Perfect for Beginners In the mountain adventure world, just like anywhere, it's best to start small. Whether you're just getting into hiking and camping around peaks or you have your sights set on someday climbing bigger, snowier, or steeper mountains, some places are better to start than others. Regardless of your mountain pursuit, these are the best peaks to lay the foundation and get off the ground. Colorado's 14ers (the 53 peaks in the state that reach 14,000 feet/4,000 meters or more) have a reputation as being especially hard. That's mostly because of their elevation, which ranks all of these mountains as some of the lower-48's tallest. Granted, they are tall, and all but the most prepared and fit will likely feel the effects of the altitude at least a little bit (nausea, headaches, shortness of breath, etc.), but that doesn't make them unattainable. Take Grays Peak, for example, a classic first-timer's summit in the Front Range. The summit may be at 14,267 feet (4,348 meters), but you'll start hiking at 11,240 feet (3,426 meters). You'll climb just over 3,000 feet (900 meters) in a quick 3.6 miles (5.8 kilometers) along easy trails from the trailhead to the summit — a stiff day, but by no means a slog, which makes Grays one of the best introductions to hiking mountains you'll find in the Rockies. Feeling good on top? Tack on another 14er, Torreys Peak, less than a mile away. A 23-mile (37-kilometer) backpacking trip through Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains might sound like jumping into the deep end of backpacking, but this route through Shenandoah National Park is one of the best places for beginners to wade in. Break it up into a few days, limiting your daily mileage to between 5 and 7 miles (8–11 kilometers). From the top of Hawksbill Mountain, the park's tallest peak, you'll have wide-ranging views of the surrounding hills and valleys, enough to get you hooked on hiking a section of the classic Appalachian Trail from Hawksbill Gap south toward Elktown. It's hard for anyone to hang out in the Pacific Northwest and spend much time staring at the snowcapped volcanoes that dot the region without dreaming of climbing one. They may conjure up images of crampon- and ice-ax-clad mountaineers roped together, wearing huge puffy jackets with headlamps strapped to their helmets — an idea that wouldn't be inaccurate for a lot of the Cascade Mountains — but there are easier places to start. Mount Adams, though the second tallest peak in Washington at 12,276 feet (3,741 meters), is one of the more mellow mountaineering objectives in the area and a great place to get the hang of some of the basics. The South Spur route was once so simple that miners regularly made the trek up to supply sulfur mining on the mountain. During the late summer, you'll be fine with regular hiking boots, but during the spring and early summer, the moderate slopes are a great place to practice with crampons and ice axes without fear of falling all the way down the mountain. Get to the top of this volcano for a view of Mount Rainier, and you'll be itching for a more technical peak in no time. If you want to pick up rock climbing and be hooked forever, whet your whistle in California's Yosemite Valley, which surrounds El Capitan. You might recognize El Cap as the site of a handful of news-breaking rock climbs in the last few years, exemplifying the 3,000-foot (900-meter) wall as one of the world's more famous — and most difficult — rock climbing destinations. But the Yosemite Valley is far more than just El Cap; it's also one of the most storied, historic, and scenic places to be introduced to the sport.Find friends with experience setting up anchors and belaying, or hire a guide service to show you the technical side of things, then safely start scrambling up any of the Valley's coarse rock slabs (a smooth piece of rock), cracks (a face with a crack in the rock that you can use to shimmy up), or chimneys (a gap in the rocks that you can shove your whole body into). Not only will you be learning while surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, but you'll be climbing rock that's so high quality, even the most experienced climbers still dream of it. Apart from being known as having some of the world's worst weather, New Hampshire's Mount Washington is a mecca of winter activities. Winter hiking is a challenge and the high winds and extreme cold on its upper slopes (even though Washington's summit only rises to 6,288 feet/1,917 meters) make it one of the best mountaineering training grounds in the Eastern United States. The bowl of Tuckerman Ravine is one of the most classic backcountry ski destinations on earth. But another winter sport for which Mount Washington and its surrounding valley stand out is ice climbing. All over the region, you can spot climbers with spikes on the feet and ice tools in their hands climbing their way up frozen waterfalls. At lower elevations, the region holds some of the best beginner ice around, and up high, the gullies of Huntington Ravine fill with thousands of feet of ice, making Mount Washington a bucket-list destination for ice climbers of all levels.
