Exit Strategy

These days it's easy to "like" just about anything but did you know you can do a lot more for the planet than like it? Consider that the average user spends about 30 minutes a day on Facebook. Now consider that there are over 500 million people on Facebook and you've got a lot of potential for social and global change.

This year, Retrevo is challenging people to spend 30 minutes doing something extra for the planet. Have an idea of your own? Go to Retrevo's Facebook Wall and let them know!

In the meantime, here are 10 ways you can help in under 30 minutes:

1. Recycle Your Old Gadgets
Go through your home, gather all of your old electronics and take them to an e-cycling facility. If you have some older gadgets that are still in working order but you don't use any longer, drop them off at one of your local charity's donation station. If you're really feeling ambitious, let your neighbors know that you'll be going to the e-cycling center on a specific date and offer to collect their old gadgets and drop them off. Remember, lots of electronics have harmful materials in them and it's important that they don't end up in a landfill. To find e-cycling centers in your area, go to: Earth 911.Read more
