2. GREENER GADGETS PARTNERS WITH THE CEA (Consumer Electronics Association)
We are thrilled to announce that we’ve just partnered with The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) on the Greener Gadgets Event, to help raise the visibility of myGreenElectronics.org, a consumer education initiative focused on responsible recycling, use and reuse of electronics. The CEA is the nation’s biggest consumer electronics trade association, and it sponsors and manages the International CES event in Las Vegas every year, so this industry partnership is a really big deal for us. It means that our efforts now have the potential to have a lot more influence on the decision makers and powers-that-be in this massively lucrative industry.

3. GREENER GADGETS LAUNCHES ON-SITE CELL PHONE RECYCLING WITH RECELLULAR
Many of you have been asking us if you can drop off your cellphones at our event for recycling. Well, now the answer is YES! We are pleased to announced that we have just partnered with ReCellular, the nation’s leading cell phone recycling company, to collect and recycle your old cellphones.
