6. Recycle Old Phones: Verizon Wireless' HopeLine Program
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, approximately 130 million cell phones will be retired this year, and fewer than 20 percent of those phones will be recycled. Verizon Wireless wants to make it easier for mobile phone users to recycle no-longer-used wireless phones through its HopeLine phone-recycling program. The phones are "refurbished, recycled or sold and the proceeds are donated to domestic violence advocacy groups or used to purchase wireless phones and service for survivors." Go to www.verizonwireless.com/hopeline to find a store to donate.

9. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: iLinc's Green Meter Web Conferencing
If you're a frequent business traveler, you may want to mention to your boss that it's better to Web conference than commute. James M. Powers, Jr., head of the Web conferencing software company iLinc, designed the Green Meter, a CO2 savings application embedded in the company's conferencing products. Inspired by Al Gore's initiative to save the earth, the Green Meter uses a "mathematical algorithm to detect the locations of the people that are attending a Web conference via IP address and measures the distance between the meeting participants and the meeting leader." The program then arrives at the amount of travel and measures how much CO2 is saved by Web conferencing rather than commuting. iLinc's Green Meter comes standard with iLinc version 9.0.
