Here at 91.3 The Summit we realize the importance of strectching and reusing resources. Being a non-profit radio station, we've been doing it for years...but now we recognize the global need to be more responsible and give back what we've taken away. We have teamed up with the Akron Recycling Center and started a program in which you can help not only give back to the environment, but also support 91.3 The Summit at the same time.

We're learning new ways we can help the world be a better place to live, and trying to work them into our everyday lives. One way is by recycling old inkjet and toner cartridges. To find out how you can help the environment and The Summit click here.

Another way to help out is by recycling your old cell phones. Mobile phones and other mobile devices (pagers, PDAs) present a growing threat to the environment. As of 2007, there are more than 750 million mobile phones waiting to be recycled in the US; either in drawers, or already in the waste stream. Another 150 million or so will be added this year and even more next year. Once in the waste stream, these devices may leak Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic and other toxic substances into the water supply. Here at The Summit we've found a way to make good use of your old cell phones...donating them to folks who really need them. Click here to find out how!

Lights Out Akron - Turn Out the Lights for Earth’s Sake! This community-wide Akron-pride event will encourage residents, businesses and government agencies to turn off non-essential lighting for 1 hour. This simple action will help us all be more aware of how easy it is to reduce our energy usage and help cut carbon emissions without noticeably affecting our lifestyles.
