Simple Steps to Help Save the Planet and Save YOU money!
1. Sell, donate, or recycle your cellular phones. Less
than 1 percent of cell phones are currently recycled and
there are five hundred million used cell phones laying
around in the US alone!
2. Unplug your power. Ten percent of the electricity used
in your home and office is burned by communication devices
and appliances when they are turned off.
3. Download your software. With more than one billion
unwanted computer diskis being thrown away every ear, the
mountain of waste can me dramatically reduced by
downloading!
