The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) and JASON Learning this week presented awards to students in a nationwide contest to spread the word about cell phone recycling. Students in grades K-12 were asked to either design a poster or make a video to raise people’s awareness that cell phones can (and should) be recycled. The students submitting the two grand-prize winning entries, representing the overall best poster and video from all grade brackets, received a trip for themselves and a parent or guardian to ISRI’s Annual Convention & Exposition in Las Vegas. The poster winner was Leanza S.M. Toves, 13, a 7th grader at Kapolei Middle School Ewa Beach, Hawaii. And the best video award went to Marlowe Lexvold and Ahnika Lexvold, home-schooled by Roberta Lexvold, in South Haven, Minn. The finalist posters and videos can be viewed on ISR’s website.
