The
International Foundation for Human Rights and Tolerance and the America's Schools Program have teamed up to help preserve the environment and fund educational programs by recycling printer cartridges and cell phones. 50% of all proceeds go to support its programs and its membership. The other 50% goes to the America's Schools Program to support K-12 schools across the country.
This program is in partnership with and under the auspices of the State School Boards Associations throughout the country.
