This summer, Sprint Nextel and Vespa USA have joined forces to launch “Green on the Go,” a mobile green awareness tour highlighting Sprint’s phone recycling efforts as part of their Buyback program and Vespa USA’s Vespanomics program. Cambridge is the fifth stop on the tour.  In addition, Starbucks will be on hand giving away free samples of ice cold VIA and other freebies.

At the event, consumers can:

o   Trade in their old or unused phones to be recycled to see whether they can earn an instant credit toward the purchase of a new device or donate their phone through Project Connect.

o   Demo Sprint’s first eco-friendly Android™ powered device – the Samsung Replenish made partially from recycled materials and recyclable packaging.

o   Participate in a Vespa photo experience.

o   Learn more about the benefits of using a Vespa as a fun alternative mode of transportation

o   Enter for a chance to win a Vespa LX 50 motor scooter and a Samsung Replenish with three months of free Sprint wireless service.

The “Green on the Go” Tour is part of a larger national promotion between Vespa and Sprint, where between June 26 and August 20, wireless users who return their eligible old or unused cell phones to Sprint may receive up to $250 in instant credit towards the purchase of a new wireless device and can enter to win one of six Vespa LX 50 scooters, a new Samsung Replenish and 3 months free Sprint wireless service.

Winners from the national contest and the Sprint and Vespa “Green on the Go” Tour will be announced at the conclusion of the promotion.
