Old Cell Phone Gathering Dust??

I just saw a segment on ABC's Good Morning America and thought this was a great idea and wanted to share the information with you.  I have multiple old cell phones gathering dust here that will go to better use now than as a dust gatherer...maybe this will be of interest to you too! 

Here's a link to the segment online:

Did you know that your old phones can save lives?
With Hope Phones, it’s easy…

American's discard over a half a million cell phones every day, and only 10% of those phones are recycled.

But Hope Phones helps bring a new life to your waste.

If we throw away 500,000 phones each day, and each is worth $15-$50, then with just 1% of that money, Hope Phones can raise enough to buy new phones for a million health workers. Yes, a million.

Because health workers in the developing world use simple phones, a donated phone has a huge impact- if you send in your used iPhone, for example, Hope Phones can purchase 5-7 phones for healthcare workers.
