Image Arts Foundation signs Recycler's Pledge of True Stewardship
October 17, 2003, BUENA PARK -- Image Arts Foundation, the grassroots organization known for placing refurbished computers into southern California schools, has launched a new website to increase exposure regionally. The new website can be found at www.computers2schools.org.

Image Arts Foundation has signed and accepted the Recycler's Pledge of True Stewardship, considered the most rigorous standard in computer recycling. The nonprofit organization Image Arts Foundation runs Computers2Schools.org, which collects, refurbishes and distributes computers into schools.

"Children deserve the best we can give them," says Chris Pflanzer, executive director of the organization. "That means providing the best learning tools available, and it means doing the right thing with equipment that can't be salvaged."

Image Arts Foundation has placed several hundred computers into local schools that otherwise could not include them in their daily curriculums. The organization is the only one of its type that has met the standards laid out in the pledge. Among other things, the pledge states that all electronic waste must be disposed of using environmentally-friendly procedures in the United States using non-prison labor.
