Employee volunteering: 2008 Global Day of Service

For the third year in a row, our employees around the world took a half day off to volunteer in their communities on the Global Day of Service.

Themed Green & Global, this year's event engaged 10,000 of our employees in 45 countries and emphasized the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. The Global Day of Service is organized by volunteers with the Motorola Foundation.

Some of the "Green & Global" highlights include:

- Working with a non-profit organization to plant a tree in honor of each employee that volunteered and a second tree for every employee that reused a Motorola T-shirt from a previous company event

- Participating in an in-office project to protect forests and curb climate change

- Sharing a Green Energy lesson plan created by Motorola employees with hundreds of students across the world, from Chicago to China
