Earth Day Giveaway: EcoFriendly T-Mobile MOTO w233 Renew and Mobilize Campaign

In honor of Earth Day, I’m giving away a newly released MOTO w233 Renew courtesy of T-Mobile who just kicked off a new campaign called Mobilize that helps customers keep the planet a little greener.

MOTO w233 Renew is the world's first mobile phone made using plastics comprised of recycled water bottles. Called the phone for “eco- conscious consumers committed to going green,” the white and green bar phone is a Carbonfree® - carbon neutral product and is uniquely designed to reduce the environmental impact of the phone by using sustainable materials in its design and recyclable packaging. The Renew allows users to make a positive impact on the environment by reducing their carbon footprint, without compromising the quality or reliability of their phone. The phone is made using plastics comprised of recycled water bottles and the plastic phone housing is 100 percent recyclable. Since the phone has nine hours of talk time, users can talk more, charge less and reduce energy usage. Customers are also encouraged to recycle their previous mobile phone with an included in-box postage-paid recycling envelope.

Features of the MOTO w233 Renew include:

• Eco-friendly bar phone available in an eye-catching color scheme: white with green trim
• Motorola’s CrystalTalk Technology
• Music player
• T-Mobile myFaves®-enabled
• Text and picture messaging
• Expandable memory card slot (microSD)
• Predictive text input
• Speakerphone
• USB 2.0 Port
• Display: 1.44 inch, 128 x 128, 65K colors
• Dual-Band GSM (850/1900 MHz)
• 1.8 x 4.4 x 0.6 inches, 3 ounces

As part of the Mobilize campaign, T-Mobile is offering the MOTO w233 Renew for free to customers who sign up with a two-year service agreement. Customers also have new options for easily recycling their phones and signing up for T-Mobile paperless billing. Customers who participate in the campaign also have the chance to win eco-friendly prizes, such as a 6-day eco-adventure in North America.

Now through May 31st T-Mobile invites you to join in helping make the planet a little greener with 3 simple ways to have a tree planted on your behalf.

• Reduce: Sign up for a T-Mobile Green Account as free, no-hassle way to save paper by combining paperless billing, EasyPay and e-mail updates in one simple choice.
• Reuse: Choose the MOTO w233 Renew, an environmentally responsible phone made of recycled water bottles, makes for an earth-friendly upgrade. T-Mobile is offering the MOTO Renew free with a two-year service agreement through May 31.
• Recycle: Recycle your handsets and accessories with T-Mobile. This helps the environment and the community. Drop off phones at any T-Mobile retail store or send them in using prepaid labels available on T-Mobile's Web site. Not only does recycling help keep useable materials out of landfills and incinerators, 100 percent of net proceeds go to community programs.

Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, T-Mobile and the Arbor Day Foundation will be planting trees in fire-damaged areas of California's San Bernardino National Forest and tree-deprived areas of Michigan's Hiawatha National Forest.

In addition, customers who participate have the chance to win an eco-friendly prize.
