GreenTech and The Refurbished Computer Initiative
GreenTech and the Refurbished Computer Initiative are programs in which refurbished corporate IT equipment is made available at low cost to nonprofits and low-income families. (In 2007, the initiative was awarded a $500,000, two-year grant by the California Emerging Technology Fund, building on a 2004 grant by The Full Circle Fund). On May 15, 2012, GreenTech Director Jim Lynch testified before the International Trade Commission on the need for 'humanitarian international computer refurbishment.'
