I hate my phone company...and I hate my cell phone company and, quite frankly, I hate my internet company. I liked to be connected, but sometimes I think their 'Spirit of Service' begins and ends at making sure I pay my bill no matter what they do to me.

Well, what if a communications company cared about more than profit. As long as we're dreaming, what if they gave 100% of their profit to environmental organizations.  Earth Tones, a very unique internet and phone company, does exactly that.  Organizations such as The State Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs), National Environmental Law Center, The Green Life, Campaign to Save the Environment, Toxics Action Center, ecopledge.com, Recycling Action Campaign, and Free the Planet.   

Earth Tones offers dial-up Internet Access with over 20,000 numbers nationwide and five e-mail addresses per account, with an optional web accelerator.  They also offer calling cards for personal and business use and wireless phone service that has an impressive amount of coverage.   

The company was founded by a coalition of non-profit organizations in 1993.  Their mission is to provide high-quality communications services to their customers while giving them the tools to help protect the environment.  In addition to their service, Earth Tones includes Green Alerts to their customers that provide information on up-to-date environmental issues and ways to get involved.  Long distance calling card customers receive toll-free numbers to call Congress and other decision-makers.  Internet and wireless customers have constant access to up-to-the-minute environmental campaigns.   

Their bills come on 100% recycled paper, but they strongly encourage you to use their electronic billing service.  Their wireless handsets are all recycled and they will even recycle your old wireless phone for free.
