Many families in America have at least one or two old Cell Phones lying around their homes, maybe in a drawer or closet, doing nothing really, except collecting dust. Some may be unaware that these very Cell Phones can be put to use by organizations that use them for fundraising.
The very idea of airlines allowing passengers to talk on cell phones during flights reminds frequent flier Alvin Kolchins of the movie Snakes on a Plane.
Alaskans can help support American troops fighting overseas just by getting rid of old, unwanted Cell Phones. The donated phones will be recycled, and the proceeds will be used to purchase calling cards for soldiers to help them stay in contact with friends and relatives.
