Dreaming of a Green New Year!
Christmas is traditionally a time for giving – cards and gifts in their millions and even kisses under the mistletoe. But while the festive season is good news for us it can spell trouble for our environment. From the wrapping paper to what’s inside the gifts, Christmas can be wasteful time of year.
Take cell phones, one of the most popular gifts year in year out. What happens to the old cell phones once they are replaced by their shiny new Christmas counterparts? Many join the estimated 500 million redundant handsets lying gathering dust in drawers around the US or, worse still, are thrown in the garbage.
Cell phones contain many toxic substances which, if they are trashed and end up in landfill, can leak into the surrounding soil polluting the earth, damaging plant and wildlife and contributing to climate change. Recycling Appeal USA is an easy and free way to dispose of old cell phones without causing damage to the environment and allows the public to raise funds for charity at the same time.
You can turn your trash into cash to support United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta and help them continue working to create lasting positive changes in the community and people’s lives. The charity strives to ensure that everyone has the basic things that many of us take for granted, promoting self sufficiency, strengthening families and nurturing children and youth.
You can also start a recycling program to raise funds for your own good cause, just get in touch and Recycling Appeal USA will make it easy for you.
