San Francisco EVO² Verizon Wireless Premium Retail Stores Partner With Customers to Go Green

Environmental Options Include Electronic Document Management Services Among Others SAN FRANCISCO – Focusing on making Earth Day every day, the local EVO² Verizon Wireless Premium Retail Stores are rolling out ways for Bay Area EVO² customers to take small steps to make big differences in saving the planet and going green. “Together EVO² Verizon Wireless Premium Retail Store customers can make a significant impact on the Bay Area environment by cutting back on solid waste and fuel-based greenhouse gas emissions,” said Robert Marhamat, Vice President of Sales with EVO². “We want to lead the wireless industry in taking a stand to help the environment and encourage all cell phone customers in the Bay Area to join EVO² in our mission to go green!” Effective immediately, EVO² Verizon Wireless Premium Retail Stores will better regulate temperatures in the stores to create savings from cooling and heating energy use. They will also all go green by using environmentally conscience cleaning fluids and paper products to maintain the stores; replace traditional light bulbs with energy saving compact fluorescent bulbs; deploy thermal printers to cut out the use of ink; and will handily email customer contracts and receipts as well as the hundreds of “welcome” brochures handed out to customers instead of wasting printed versions. “We can all partner together and help to cut-back on paper waste in our landfills by getting our materials delivered electronically instead of printing and wasting paper,” Marhamat said. “That’s a really easy first step to take that collectively makes a huge impact.” Meanwhile, EVO² customers can choose to go green by selecting a “Green Bill” instead of a typical snail mailed bill.

They can also conveniently use VZ Navigator wireless phone options to get streamlined driving directions or Gas Finder to locate a low-price gasoline station close by without driving to survey prices. “Why drive all around town when everything you need is available on an EVO² wireless phone,” Marhamat said. “That’s the great part of being an EVO² customer plugged into the best 3G network available in the San Francisco Bay Area.” Customers can also reduce energy use by unplugging their phone charger when not in use. “Leaving the charger plugged in uses ‘phantom’ energy from the grid,” Marhamat said. “That’s another simple way EVO² Verizon Wireless Premium Retail Store customers can make a big difference for the Bay Area.” There are 18 EVO² Premium Retail Stores, providing service from Verizon Communications, located throughout the Bay Area including San Jose, San Mateo, Redwood City, Hayward, San Francisco, Tracy, Concord and Brentwood - with more locations opening this year.
