At the school I work we've been able to purchase projectors and Interactive whiteboards.

The scare tactics are just silly, and actually do a disservice to really addressing the issue. Someone, anyone?, want to try & tell me how keeping old cell phones tossed in a box/drawer somewhere wastes "enough resources to juice 19 homes for one year. The greenhouse gases reduced would equal that of 14 passenger cars being removed from the road for a year". Best I can tell, my now worthless 8525 *isn't* sucking any power, locked away in the bottom of the filing cabinet. Maybe the EPA knows something I don't, and that little bastard sneaks out at night and sucks off the nearest Outlet of Electric Life?
