We have recently celebrated the two year anniversary of launching our YouRenew.com website.

In recognizing this milestone, we thought it would be cool to put together some metrics and real world examples that show how renewing all your old gadgets has made a positive environmental impact over these past two years.

We have reused or recycled enough devices to:

• Create energy savings that could power 236 US homes for a year
• Create air emission reductions that would equal taking 554 passenger vehicles off the road for a year
• Offset the hazardous waste that 223 US families produce over the course of a year
• Offset the daily municipal solid waste created by 6,963 Americans

Another great example of how little things, like renewing old gadgets, can make a huge impact on our environment!
