Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Computer Donations and Recycling; Only Non Profit Organization Actually Donating Free Computers to Charities and Non Pro
Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) October 10, 2007 -- A partnership between Alberta's Promise and the Electronic Recycling Association (www.ERA.ca) is providing refurbished computers to seven Calgary not-for-profit agencies serving the child and youth sector.
The Calgary organizations receiving ERA's refurbished computers are Alberta's Promise partners and include Boys and Girls Club of Calgary, Calgary Women's Emergency Shelters, Churchill Park Family Care Society, Inn From The Cold Society, PREP Program, Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth, and Wood's Homes. A total of 32 computers will be delivered, ensuring that each agency has the equipment and capacity to effectively meet the needs of their clients. Many of the computers donated will be committed for children's use to help them develop their computer literacy skills.
"We know that many of these organizations cannot afford to buy computers for the children that they serve," explains Bojan Paduh, Director, Electronic Recycling Association. "Computer literacy is an important skill for children to have in order to grow into functioning adults. That's why we feel it's necessary for ERA to get involved and do our part to provide children across our province with opportunities to meet their potential and allow them to be kids."
The computers distributed within Calgary are just 32 of a total 200 that are set to be delivered throughout Alberta in September. Eleven other Alberta's Promise agency partners in Edmonton, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray will each receive ERA's refurbished computers. ERA expects this contribution to be the first in a series of donations of recycled computers and computer equipment made to Alberta's Promise partners.
"We're one of the only recycling companies in Alberta that provides not-for-profits with free computers," says Paduh. "Our partnership with Alberta's Promise has opened the door for us to distribute our computers to a network of organizations who can use them to benefit children and youth in our province."
Electronic Recycling Association is a not-for-profit organization that collects unwanted electronic items and is a leading free-of-cost provider of recycled computers for organizations who could not otherwise afford them.
"ERA and Alberta's Promise are committed to building a healthy economy in our province," says Tyra Henschel, Executive Director of Alberta's Promise.
ERA collects old computers from corporations and government departments, and distributes them to local charities and non profit groups. To contribute and be a part of this great program, please contact.

Detoxification: Helping Your Kidney Help You!
The principle task of the kidney is to preserve the volume and composition of the extracellular fluid constant. This it must do despite a varying outside environment, and varying input. A part of this task--but only a part--is to remove from the body some of the waste by-products of metabolism which the cells cannot break down further. Thus the principal function of the kidney is not excretion, but regulation. We can move and live on dry land, even though we are three-quarters water, and survive; our cells tucked away in a carefully preserved ocean of extracellular fluid, whose composition is guarded with exquisite accuracy by the kidneys, a major part of our life-support system in this hostile environment. We can roam into deserts, and (us...

Keywords Make or Break PPC Campaigns
Your keyword list is the ON-OFF switch to all your PPC advertising campaigns. Your keywords are the triggers that determine when you want your ads displayed. If you choose the wrong keywords, you're likely to see poor results, in the form of generating little or no traffic and whatever traffic you do manage to generate probably won't translate to sales. Of course, the wrong keywords could also take your PPC campaigns to the opposite extreme - lots of traffic, but still no sales. This can cost you dearly and is likely to deplete your advertising budget in short order.
