Recycle Your Cell Phone Free From ‘The Spirit’ With Scarlett Johansson

Tuesday December 16, 2008
The new Frank Miller film “The Spirit” wants more than just your money as a moviegoer. The film from the “Sin City” director also wants to save you money, too, and help protect against the improper disposal of old cell phones.

The film says it’ll pay for you to recycle your old cell phone with a postage-paid mailing label if you “answer the call” and do the right thing.

At http://www.answer-the-call.net, the film says: “Join Ema and The Spirit to answer the call and recycle your old cell phones. Old phones can’t be thrown away as they have parts that are considered toxic. Many of them end up gathering dust. Now it is easy to recycle your phones and help protect the environment.”

While the film also offers 10 other green tips to be an “environmental hero,” my list of 13 cell phone-specific environmental tips can be found here. Information about green cell phone service carriers can be found here.
