We should all strive to increase each generation's environmental consciousness -- but this is one subject where the older generation can learn a lot from the younger one -- about recycling, reusing and renewing the planet.

Tell us something you've learned or incorporated into your "green" routine as the result of a young person's influence. You will be entered for a chance to win $1000 from Sprint!

Sprint is continuously seeking and applying new ways to run an eco-friendly business and create a sustainable future. They’re already leading the industry through a pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase the deployment of renewable energy and continue aggressive cell-phone recycling efforts.

Sprint is the first and only U.S. telecommunications provider to publicly commit to significantly increase phone-recycling efforts. They have pledged to collect an amount equal to 90% of what they sell per year by 2017.

As part of this commitment, they have introduced the Samsung Reclaim™ -- The eco-friendly, socially conscious, always networking phone. 40% of the casing was built using bio-plastic materials extracted from corn and is made of 80% recyclable materials.

The Samsung Reclaim™ features Text, email, Facebook and YouTube access, one click access to eco-friendly applications, GPS Navigation, 2.0 megapixel camera and camcorder, and a sliding keyboard. Find our more, HERE!

Sprint is also sponsoring BlogHer's Family Connections Group, where you can join BlogHer's community journalism project on digital parenting by talking about how you and your family interact with technology. Check it out!
