Donates Percentage of Sales to Benefit Global Green USA to Advance its Efforts
to Create Greener Cities for a Cooler Planet
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Boingo Wireless, the world`s leading Wi-Fi provider, is celebrating Earth Day by
donating five percent of Boingo`s US subscription sales to Global Green USA.
This includes all sales of new Boingo Unlimited accounts in Boingo`s 36 owned
and operated airports in the US from April 8 through April 30. 

The proceeds raised through Boingo Unlimited sales will support Global Green`s
initiatives toward developing sustainable communities and combating climate
change. The non-profit organization has been instrumental in creating affordable
green homes and schools in Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York and throughout the
country. Global Green also successfully advocates for smart climate policy
solutions through high profile advocacy campaigns. 

"We`re proud to support Global Green USA as they continue their positive impact
on the planet through greening buildings, and cities, and educating
policy-makers and opinion leaders," said Dave Hagan, Boingo`s president and CEO.
"Like Global Green, we believe protecting the planet is a collective effort,
which is why Boingo continues to practice environmentally-friendly measures on a
daily level - in and out of the office." 

In addition to annual donation campaigns with environmental organizations like
Global Green, Boingo continues to expand its eco-friendly efforts among its
employees. Over the last few years, Boingo has implemented an increasing number
of green-living programs around the office to encourage employees` participation
in minimizing overall impact on the environment. 

Those programs include: power reduction campaigns through the use of virtual
machines to minimize power footprint and contests to get employees to turn off
surge protectors at night; recycling campaigns for cans, bottles, plastics and
paper, as well as batteries and cellphones; and employee incentives for taking
alternative transportation to work, among others.
