Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) has announced that Geneva High School, Geneva, Ohio, is the winner of its nationwide in-school education and recycling program sweepstakes.
As the winner of the program, Geneva High School will be the recipient of a concert by pop/rock band Hey Monday. In addition, 50 schools will receive $1,000 “Green Grants” to put towards making their school more environmentally friendly.
Samsung Mobile’s in-school education and recycling program, which ran from April 1 – June 1, sought to educate teens about the importance and ease of mobile phone recycling, the company says.
Samsung Mobile’s recycling efforts support its Eco-Management 2013 Plan announced in July 2009. The plan details a set of sustainability goals to be achieved by Samsung in 2013, which include the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from manufacturing and product, the development of eco-friendly products, financial investment in eco-management initiatives and enhanced green partnerships with suppliers and partners.
