Green Chips, a local charity supporting sustainable initiatives including solar panel installations, plans to use its $50,000 donation to help retrofit the Las Vegas Rescue Mission for solar panels.

CEA president and CEO Gary Shapiro said these donations will help the environment and the Las Vegas community through the efforts of Green Chips and Repurpose AMERICA.

CEA will be working again with Repurpose AMERICA and GES this year to maximize the reuse of show materials.

As part of that effort, CEA has granted Repurpose AMERICA $25,000 to take signs and other materials from CES to build shade structures at two local community centers.
