“Today’s Green Minute with Jim Parks” video (1:25) on our Zoo-based recycling program. Jim gives a nice and simple explanation of coltan mining and our efforts to save gorilla habitats by recycling cell phones and e-waste. Another great success story from an ECO-CELL Silverback partner: The Louisville Zoo.

Do your research BEFORE you recycle your cell phone. All recycling companies are NOT made equal. Get a personal reference or find out who else they do business with. http://ht.ly/2TOjm

Now that another school year has begun, ECO-CELL has provided some helpful ECO-TIPS for parents and students (of any age) to help cut back on waste and save money. It’s important to remember that the back-to-school shopping spree comes with huge environmental costs. There are over 14 million students currently enrolled in the United States, making them (and their parents) a prime target of today’s conspicuous consumption driven marketplace. We seldom think about these costs and how our spending choices impact the world around us.

As we move closer to the winter season, it’s important to make a few minor adjustments at the homestead to cut down on those insane energy bills. If you’re like me, you put out your orange recycling box every week and try to walk rather than drive, but you still want to do more. Unfortunately you have little time and even less money. As it turns out, there are some simple and better still, cheap things you can do to live a greener lifestyle.
