One of my planet-friendly faves, ReCellular is not only helping to make mother Earth a little more comfy, but is helping to aid the earthquake victims in Haiti as well. Although there are other high-tech ways to donate your cash to relief efforts, this one is a no-brainer: go to ReCellular's Phones For Haiti website and recycle your old phones. 100 percent of the phones' worth will go to the Red Cross, and will help get the victims of this week's quake the supplies and medical attention they need. All you have to do is print out a paid shipping label, and send the phones off for a good cause. If you've been holding on to that phone after an upgrade, now's the time to let it go!

I looked up both "recellular" and "phones for haiti" on Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org) and it came back with zero results. I'd feel a bit funny donating to an organization that isn't vetted by Charity Navigator.
1I checked Charity Navigator and they don't have the Toronto Zoo or their Eco-Cell program listed either but I know they're legit... I think it's probably safe (as long as you erase your data) considering they're not asking for money, just garbage.
2I have a few old timey ones that I need to toss into the trash. People tend to keep their old cell phones for a long time. I gave 2 phones to a daycare for the children to play with. The daycare teachers asked and I gave.
3As for this article....I hope this recycling bit works for these people.
