Eco Tip

  • Keep you computer and monitor in sleep mode rather than leaving them on around the clock. You will use 80% less electricity, which over the course of a year will have the effect of cutting CO2 emissions by up to 1,250 pounds.

The Wireless Foundation is a non-profit organization established by Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA). The CALL TO PROTECT campaign collects wireless phones to benefit survivors of domestic violence.

Other phones are refurbished and become lifelines for domestic violence survivors when faced with an emergency situation.
